In the previous post i was giving some illustration for space usage in web hosting. Now i want to continue with data transfer’s usage for your website requirement. Basically for website which just contains scripts, it won’t take much data transfer per month, for example you have 100Kb size of your script in total and a hundred visitors per day in average, so you will use about 300Mb of data transfer per month.

100Kb x 100 visitors x 30 days = 300Mb

That is basic calculation to predict your data transfer’s usage per month, you can predict more specific calculation for it. For example you have 4 page in your website where every page’s size is 30Kb. You have a hundred visitors per day and they are reading 2 of your page in average. This is the calculation.

30Kb x 2 pages x 100 visitors x 30 days = 180Mb

So you’re just use 180Mb of data transfer per month, not so much of data transfer you need for your website right? From those two examples, you can predict more according to your website conditions. Maybe your website’s pages contains images or attachments or videos (hosted in your web hosting) and your visitor is more than a hundred per day with more than 2 page loads in average. You can check your website’s statistic with some tools in your panel for more specific data.

If you are having some video streaming website or file hosting site, of course you need lot of data transfer per month than just an ordinary website. Especially if peoples often access your website to download or watch some video, just prepare to pay out more for your data transfer.
