Some help please

[arrogcow]

Not kilt related (yet) but I need some help.

I'm about to put up a web site, and I'm trying to figure out what hosting I need. The site itself is about 200MG. The hosting I'm looking at has a 250GB transfer a month. By my calculations that would mean that I could have about 1250 people look at my entire site per month with out going over my transfer(which is way more that I ever expect). Is this right? I don't want to pay for more than I need, but am unsure how to figure all this out.

i dont think so........

just guessing here

but it only transfers the page you load
not all 200mb

each page should only be a couple Kb

I was figuring on visitors checking everything. The site contains my demo reels.

I use these guys for a few sites that I run:

http://www.aplus.net/

They're not the absolute cheapest but they are very reasonable and very reliable. I never have problems with uploads and their server uptime is as close to 100% as you can get. 24/7 tech service and if you get someone with an accent that you don't understand they will transfer you to another techie.

I use www.dreamhost.com plenty of disk space, and a terabite of data transfer per month...and those numbers grow as you keep your service with them! I think it works out to doubleing every couple of years or something like that!

if you need any help with the site, let me know!

The question isn't "can I get more bandwidth", it is "do I need more bandwidth". According to my calculations (see post #1) I should have plenty of bw at 250G/month. I'm asking if my calculations are right. If they are, I'm good, if not then I need to spend more money for more.
