Question about Hosting/Bandwidth

Can someone help me out, I have googled but cant find anything good.

How much Monthly data transfer/bandwidth does a website REALLY need?

I dont mean a website like google, yahoo, or myspace….

but more like this website, flashden… or smashingmagazine, theFWA, etc.

I just see so many different hosting companies offer 15TB of bandwidth for cheap as hell prices others that are much more expensive offer 10gb bandwidth…

I mean i dont have a website anywhere near as successful as flashden or anything but i am still wondering what kind of monthly bandwidth a site like this uses…?

If you think you would be near FlashDen bandwidth (considering the amount of users) I would consider definately a “dedicated server”...

FD Staff can help you with this question.. but in my opinion now a days hosting companies are offering services with SOOOOOOOO high in bandwidth and getting cheaper

I personally pay $5 a month for 10GB of space and 300GB of bandwitdth monthly (GoDaddy) ... Treats me well

but i can use it with only 1 domain.. i could tell you the link of my hosting company… just ask me…

I would suggest checking out bluehost I have had an account with them for 2 years now, and I refer all of my clients to them as well.

To try to guess how much you would need for a site that is compatible to FD would sort of be hard, especially if the site does not yet exist. But if you are trying to build a site that is a large community, that will have high traffic. I would suggest looking into mediatemple. They are top dogs right now when it comes to hosting larger sites. And if you call them, and tell them the type of site you are looking to create, and how large you expect it to be, they can help you in making the hosting options decision.

But if you are in need of a smaller site…with a lot of space check out bluehost! I pay 7 bucks a month…but I pay yearly rather than monthly…thats just what it breaks down to. But I get 1.5 Terabytes space, and 15 Tb bandwidth monthly. It didn’t start that high…it just slowly progressed to that. But whats nice is that if the plan gets upgraded…you call them up and will upgrade your account to be up to the new space plan. Which is something I never got at any other host.

Yeah i have bluehost for my personal website. i LOVE them

I just asked the question because i just wonder if these hosting companies that offer all that bandwidth… just wondering if allll that bandwidth is really needed… and if any moderately successful websites use anywhere near that much monthly bandwidth
