How Much is Enough?

Tagged:

Maybe you are considering getting a web site, maybe you have a domain and need hosting or maybe you need hosting, design and a domain.

Here at Amber Eyes, we can help.

But the first question we usually hear is, "How much space, bandwidth, etc do I need?"

If this is your first web site, and you do not intend to open a storefront on the net -- at least not yet .... just get a blogger site.

Why?

Because unless you suddenly get as popular as Google, you will not generate much traffic initially. And unless you have a storehouse of very large images, you will not need that much storage capacity either. You can always upgrade to a larger site when you need to.

As examples, Connect DC and Katrina's Joy (my most popular sites), together generated less than 15 Mbs bandwidth for all of March. And Blue Moon Studio, my largest site, is using less than 125 Mbs of storage.

So don't worry so much about going for a larger site initially.

Also beware of hosting companies that offer huge storage and bandwidth capacities that you will most likely never use. They also may charge for technical support or will not help you with issues surrounding site design.

Use your best judgement.
