How Much Bandwidth Is Enough?

Bandwidth is the basically the amount of data that you are allowed to transmit. If you do a quick search on the internet you can easily find web hosts that are offering 100GB, 500GB, 1Tb... but the problem is exactly how much of bandwidth do you need? Well, let me show you much bandwidth do you really need.

Every now and than I need to monitor how much bandwidth I am using in order to make sure that I don't go past the allocated limit of bandwidth.

On average, most business websites would use around 1~2GB of bandwidth. Sometimes, a bit more due to their product launch which attracts a lot of people. For me I would use around 1.5GB of bandwidth but it is constantly growing as more and more people come to visit my site everyday.

The point I am trying to prove here is that a typical business website would only use around 1GB of bandwidth. This means that the extra bandwidth you have is actually not needed. To me the large amount of bandwidth offered by most hosts today I just bait to lure more customers to use their services.

It is actually very hard to use 100GB of bandwidth unless you are streaming videos or have really high resolution graphics on your website which is altogether a different story. Streaming videos and using really high graphics may be perfect for a personal website but it is not exactly the best thing to do with a business website.

The reason that I am saying this is because of the 10 second rule. Typically most people would look at your website for around 10 seconds. If your web page uses to much space it would take a rather long time to load, if your website takes a long time to load you will lose a lot of business because people don't like to wait. That includes as well.

That is why you need to keep your web pages small in terms of space so that they can load really quickly. So that you get your messages across quickly and that is exactly how you can get more sales.

Now that you know how much bandwidth your website needs I hope that you can make a more informed decision while choosing a web host. Don't get lured in by the high amount of bandwidth only, look at the whole package that they are offering before you make your choice.

And with that you have reached the end of this article. I really hope that you have enjoyed and benefited from this article.
