Stuck on Hosting plans!
Hi there.

I'm hoping to open a community site for youths, using a CMS.

Its going to be a; blogging, chatting, and games site.

I'm expecting big hits, and the problem I have, is how to visualise how much MB Space & Bandwidth I'd need.

So here are 2 plans I have my eye on:

MB Space: 5,000
Bandwidth: 250GB

MB SPace: 10,000
Bandwidth: 500 GB

If someone could give me a comparison, like myspace.. what kind of plans do they use? I know my site will never be as popular, but, i could size it down and visualise it.

Thanks a lot,

Myspace probably uses more than 10,000 GB, or 10 Terabytes of storage, and I would imagine their bandwidth used is probably 20 times that amount, or more. It's one of the biggest sites on the internet.

One reason myspace uses/requires so much space is that they host image galleries for their users, and images use far more space than HMTL documents.

A similar site that required users to host their images elsewhere would consume probably 1% of the resources Myspace does.
