| 50 gigs of bandwith is alot! Most small forums, use maybe about 1-2 gigs a month. If you are just starting out, unless you have some kind of secret to share, you will not use 50 gigs a month for a long time.  | ||||

| I have 5Gig per month, and 30 members, about of which ten are regulars. it usually uses the entire 5Gig, so you should be able to get at least 1000 Members, Theoretically.....

| Way more than enough, according to Ryans Infomation, you could host 2 forums as active as AF at the same time!

Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 282 Location: Scotland | it would also depend on the types of files you let users upload and download (large files) my forum has some large files on it and on average it uses 10-13gigs of bandwidth each month. | ||||

| I believe it also depends if you enable (server dependent) GZIP, i beleive it compresses things, at least, thats what it says on my phpBB installation, and some SMF installation, but i dont gurantee its true....

Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 652 | You probably want to go with something lower. My forum had about 20 posts a day and recieved about 500 daily hits (hits, not uniques*) and it only used a gig a month in addition to the main website. *I wish. | ||||
