Web Design Web Hosting HTML

Web Design Web Hosting html account is a shared allocation of a web server you purchase and pay for on an ongoing ‘monthly’ basis. When looking for a hosting package that will suit your needs the first thing you need to take a look at is the Bandwidth you will need. This generally has a limit and has to do with the amount of data that your
website transfers over the Internet from your server to your visitors computer.

 

If your website is hosted on a US server and an Australian visitor visits your website the content needs to travel to the Australian visitors Computer and it uses bandwidth to do this.

 

Lets take a look at an example.

Lets say you have a webpage that consists of:

  • Text = 4 KB
  • 1 image at 12 KB
  • 1 image at 14 KB

Total = 30 KB

Lets say you get 100 people visiting your website each day. Your hosting account is based on what your website uses per month.

Lets do some maths.

30 KB x 100 visitors per day = 3000 KB of bandwidth used
per day.

3000 KB x 30 days = 90,000 KB per month.

For this example you will need a website design hosting html account with at least .1 GB which is not possible because Bandwidth is available in GB lots only eg 1 GB or 5 GB etc For this example a hosting account with 1 GB is ample.

Lets say now you have 10 webpage’s that is visited by 100 visitors per day. lets calculate the 90,000 KB we use for the 1 web page x 10 webpage’s this equals to a usage of 9,000,000 KB per month. For this example you will need a hosting account with a minimum of 9 GB of bandwidth per month.

Calculate Your Webpage’s

In your web editor program in the webpage properties you should be able to see your document size (this is possible with Namo Web editor) if you don’t just right click on your webpage and images and add up the kb manually by viewing this in the properties. Your account provider should also have an online usage calculator and bandwidth monitor. If you need to convert or calculate your bandwith use our MB to GB converter.
