How much bandwidth should my web hosting plan include?

I%26#039;m not 100% sure on the numbers, so a formula for estimating would be excellent.

But... let%26#039;s pretend I%26#039;m planning on having 50 hits daily (at least when I start up), with an average page size of 125kb (including images). How much monthly badwidth do I need?

Do my uploads count towards that?

Also, what are some good hosting plans for $8.00 monthly or less that let me pay at least every 3 months (preferably monthly)?

I%26#039;m looking into TotalChoiceHosting, 40 GB bandwidth for $5 / monthly. Is that a good deal? Also 1200 MB storage.

From what you describe, the plan you note will more than cover your needs.

How much bandwidth should my web hosting plan include?

I think 5 G of bandwidth is already more than enough for your website, but of course, it is better if your website has excess bandwidth allocation.

With regards to webhosting deal, I think you can still have offers better than that from TotalChoiceHosting. Check My Webbie Hosting. Their LITE plan, which only costs $3.95/month, already includes 1.5 G disk space and 150 bandwidth. Based also in my experience, all their guarantees (including one-hour ticket response time, 99.9%uptime, etc.) are realistic.
