How do I calculate how many MB or GB I need?
If you plan a startup site with html, an 800MB storage with 30GB bandwidth may support your website without issue. However, if you plan to install a forum, numerous images, a database with many entries and php programming, you may be better served with a larger site of at least 2GB storage and 60GB bandwidth.
Here's some definitions that will help you calculate:
Bytes Abbreviation for binary term, a unit of storage capable of holding a single character. On almost all modern computers, a byte is equal to 8 bits.
Large amounts of memory are indicated in terms of kilobytes (1,024 bytes), megabytes (1,048,576 bytes), and gigabytes (1,073,741,824 bytes).
Mega bytes (1) When used to describe data storage, 1,048,576 (2 to the 20th power) bytes. Megabyte is frequently abbreviated as M or MB. (2) When used to describe data transfer rates, as in MBps, it refers to one million bytes.
Giga bytes 2 to the 30th power (1,073,741,824) bytes. One gigabyte is equal to 1,024 megabytes. Gigabyte is often abbreviated as G or GB.
