Well this all depends on the content but generally a site needs no more than 5mb if it is just html, if you intend on adding flash to the site then 10-15mb is needed depending on the size of the flash as well as how many flash items you are using. if you intend to add downloads to your site on an ftp account then more is needed, it all depends on your usage needs.

as for bandwidth

This is an age old question that people want 3Gb or unlimited bandwidth

but the website never makes it past 10mb let alone 1 gig.

www.webstyles.co.za is 1mb in size on html alone, and the monthly usage for bandwidth is never over 50 mb with more than 3000 hits a month.

if you require any hosting of an existing site or want to start your own website then visit http://www.webstyles.co.za/starter.html

Webstyles.co.za offers 3 packages for you to choose from

the first of which is the Starter Package.

with this you can use the full 50mb for just your website
or use the additional space for email accounts which can be forwarded to an email you check regularly, you can use the space to setup a blog, forum, ecommerce site, helpdesk or anything you wish.

whether all for email, mailing lists, blogs, ecommerce pages, website or any other use you may find. the space is yours.

the only real difference is the space you choose
