[cmanby]

HI PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

IM HAVING A WEB SITE SET UP AND MY HOSTING COMPANY HAS A SOFT BANDWIDTH LIMIT OF 1 GB WHICH HE SAYS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR OUR NEW E-COMMERCE SITE. If I LOOK AT OTHER HOSTING PACKAGES THEY GIVE A LOT MORE BANDWIDTH THIS SEEMS VERY LOW IS IT ?

Hi Chris,

Please don't type all in capitals, it makes it very hard to read! 1GB probably won't be enough if you are expecting more than 1000 visitors / month to your site. You can pick up a good hosting package from around £5/10 month with 5GB+ bandwidth which should be suited to your needs.

If you are only expecting a handful of visitors (around 30 a day) then it should suit your needs.

A friend of mine is starting hosting at http://www.aquinox.co.uk/. Thie site will be fully operational by the weekend, if you'd like more details e-mail (e-mail address removed) and tell him that Vince Cutting recommended you. The deals are very good and can be very flexible.

I really doubt 1GB will be enough bandwidth to cope with a busy e-commerce website.

I would expect in excess of 15GB for a reasonable e-commerce site, and maybe even more.

Depends on how many customers you are expecting to visit the new website.
