Also make sure that they provider isn't going to include email and FTP in your total, sending and uploading large files will eat up your BW....

Good! Pay attention and do well -- this is the sort of thing that can totally screw you up when you're older. You wouldn't believe (right now) the things that require you to be able to do problem solving and algebra on the fly in real life.

thats what I am taking right now, lol

thanks for getting that through my thick head

(100,000 page views * 60 kb/page)/month = 6,000,000 kb/month
6,000,000 kb ~= 6,000 mb ~= 6 gb

So you're looking at 6G/month of bandwidth.

(and you should take basic algebra)

I dont get this, ok, I am predicting I will get 100,000 page views every month, the average page size is 60 kb how much bandwidth do I need a month?

btw, that's roughly 13G per 12 day period, or over 1G/day of bandwidth, given your numbers. Make sure you're not counting file hits, but actual page views.

Suzanne — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 18:23:42 +0000

Haven't you taken math? lol... you started with kb, your final number is in kb.

So you're saying, in 12 days, you use 10,000,000 kb of bandwidth?? You have 130,000 views per DAY?

teammatt3 — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 18:11:45 +0000

well now I get a number like 10000000 what is it in? bytes, kilobytes, mega, giga?
page size 100kb * 130,000 * 12?

Suzanne — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 18:08:44 +0000

page size * views * days in the month = bandwidth/month

Check your stats for views and such, and for existing bandwidth usage.

Don't forget to add in images, style sheets and other files when estimating.
