If just your database is 60MB, you'll probably want at least 500MB of server space. However, with 30 people online at any given time, you could need up to 100GB of bandwidth. Try to figure out how much bandwidth you're using. By the way, A Small Orange - Web Hosting, Software and more! is really popular around here. | ||||

Here at AF we have 150 or so visitors (members, guests, and search engines) on here at a time, constantly, but only 10 actual members logged in....There's a big difference between having 30 members logged in and 30 visitors total (members, guests, and search engines).

| Are they simply browsing and posting or do you provide them with an arcade and other interactive bits and pieces? With 30 visitors averaging online, you'd be fine with shared hosting, though it also depends on what all they are doing.
