How to correctly estimate bandwidth requirements?

[mariadsouza]

Hi

If someone has done some websites and decided to get into the hosting business as well,so many reseller plans out there and it seems that it has been made quite easy for us little entreprenours.

Everything is going fine, but I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to properly estimate bandwidth requirements for a website when offering hosting. I mean as a host you sell packages with limits to almost everything you give right, so how to correctly estimate bandwidth? Does anyone have any rules of thumb or other advice that could be helpful.

Many thanks to anyone who responds and also to all of you in the community as these forums are really a great help.

Hi,
I'll give plans have b/w = diskspace allowed *(25~100) depending on your plan options, and charge for extra $ for additional b/w required.
Why u want to estimate b/w for users? Isn't that the users will
determine how much they needed?

I think all hosting plans measure bandwidth requirements (GB per month), so you need to estimate the amount of bandwidth your site will require on monthly basis.

i think the basic equation is the more bandwidth the better

Surely the more bandwidth you've got the better but it all depends on a lot of circumstances (for example, the amount of the clients that'll visit your site, the time of their visits, etc.). That's why it's difficult to say for sure how much wandwidth you'll need.
