What would you say the average web hosting account would use in terms of disk space +usage?

i was thing of using my colocated server to start hosting websites and was wondering realistically how much disk space i would need to service 100 customers , they accounts would be basically unmetered and would have %26quot;unlimted%26quot; disk space ...what do you guy reckon i would need realistically?

To make an educated guess, we can say there would be 100 users all using at least 100 MB of disk space. That would give you a 100*100=10,000 MB (10G) at least. Add your website code and data, which may be around 50 to 100M in itself (depending upon how %26#039;cool%26#039; you want it to look) and add some buffer space, so you are looking at somewhere around 20G to begin with...





This might not be consistent with what you require and you may need to change, but this will give you a good starting point...





Happy hosting :)

If you are going to offer unmetered accounts, then you will rapidly attract very high usage customers who can spot a good deal when they see it, so %26quot;lots%26quot;.
