In scouting for a web hosting company, always ensure the disk space and amount of traffic necessary.
Amount of disk space
The requirement of a website for small and medium is between 10 and 100 MB of disk space.
When you look at the size of HTML pages, you will notice that the average size is very small – less than 1K. But looking at the size of images used in pages, you will often find several times larger than pageitself.
5 and 50K of space on the server is the expected consumption of each HTML page that is linked to the use of images or other elements that consume disk space in May
More disk space is required for websites that intend to use many images or graphics (not to mention sound files or videos).
Before scouting for your host, make sure you are aware of your needs.
Monthly Traffic
Monthly Data Transfer to a smallor the website will average between 1 and 5 GB
On the other hand, monthly traffic in larger commercial sites consumes more than 100GB.
Before the contract with the hosting provider is signed, make sure the following are true:
What are the limitations on monthly transfer?
Will your site be closed if you exceed the volume?
Will you be charging higher if the volume is exceeded?
Will it cover futurerequirements?
upgrades easy?
Connection Speed
Your Web hosting provider should offer a relatively fast connection for your visitors who often connect through a modem.
During the first days of the Internet, connecting using a T1 was considered a fast connection. However, modern speeds are much faster.
A byte is 8 bits long, and it is usual amount of bits used to transfer a character (a letter or number). 14,000 to 56,000 bits persecond (bps) is the transfer speed modems in low speed communication. The range is between 2000 and 7000 characters per second, or about 1 to 5 pages of written text.
Before making any deal with hosting providers, some research on other web sites on their servers to have a good training on the speed of their network. Similarly, compare other sites to your site, to check if you have the same requirements. Get in touch with other clients is anotheralternative.
The disk space and amount of monthly traffic is not the only requirement in web hosting. It depends on the website you are planning to put in place.
