When searching for the right company to buy for, when looking into web hosting, one must always think and calculate your hosting needs. For example, web hosting comprises of 2 parts, the actual disk space that the web pages will be stored on, and the total bandwidth one is allowed to use per month.

The first part, the “web space,” is the space that the web pages take up on the web hosting companies’ hard drives. A common offer is in the 1000 MB+ range. Furthermore, another factor to consider is the fact that you need bandwidth to upload the pages that are on the web hosting companies’ hard drives to the customer who is trying to access your webpage. Therefore, a person must consider how many customers might frequent the website a day, how many days there are in a month, and the total size of the pages that they are trying to access. For example, if your webpage is a total of 3 pages, at 100 Kb per page, and 100 people access it per day, that means that you would have to purchase 900 MB of bandwidth.

However, in an attempt to benefit both sides of the deal, if the website host decides to lower that 100 Kb page to say around 30-40 Kb per page, it dramatically cuts the size of the page on the web host companies hard drives and it also shortens the time it takes for the customer to load the web page. Therefore, the impulse to swarm ones website with fancy glittery photos is actually the wrong way to go. In order to help the customer, the website should be short to load, informative, concise, just like this one XD. Therefore, choosing ones hosting needs depends on the type of website you need and the amount of prospective customers.
