Bandwidth for 3000 hits

[dnalbum]

How much bandwidth will be consumed per day for a 3000 hits (Per day) web site? This is a normal site with articles.

Lets say the page is 100kb with all text and images etc. 100 x 3,000 = 300,000kb which in turns to be 0.28610 gb a day. In a month you can see usage of 40gb to be safe. Not sure if my math is correct its 1am here.

I wouldn't think 3000 hits a day would require anywhere near 40gb to be honest - although it depends on your content. If you're not already, you should be using compression for HTML and optimized images. In this case, it's unlikely each page will be 100k (you can easily check page size in firefox).
And .3GB per day * 30 days is 9GB, so 40gb is a pretty big "margin" ;-)

He is right. 9GB :D and a 100KB page is really big and needs optimized :)

Well depends on your user target. Ours is majority broadband so 100kb pages is normal for us. Its all text and images. Pages are compressed with gzip. We have about 300hits per min on that domain.

Here's a stat off one of my busiest sites:

you'll have to go from left to right reading, it's removing spaces lol.

**note, I do use gzip on this site.
