Bandwidth Required for These Stats?

    I consider myself to be a knowledgeable webmaster, but when it comes to bandwidth, I have confused for some reason. I'm looked into some formulas on Google to try and determine how much I will be using for a new site I'm opening, but I just don't get it. I'm hoping that if I provide two general numbers, someone can tell me approximately how much GB of bandwidth transfer I will need per month:

    Size of Each Page: 300KB
    No. of Pageviews Per Month: 300,000

    Right now, my current hosting package allows for 100 GB of bandwidth per month. I hope that is enough, but I thought I'd ask here for some clarification. If anyone can offer any advice or what not, I'd appreciate it.

    (I wasn't sure what forum to put this in, but since this was a general question, I placed it in this forum.) :cool:

    In easy calculations, You'll need about 85.8GB/month, but You'll probably need less because of caching.

    300KB / 1024KB (1MB) = 0.2929MB
    0.2929MB / 1024MB (1GB) = 0.0002861GB
    0.0002861GB * 300,000 views = 85.83GB (like tomksoft said)

    That would be 300,000 unique. If there are images (say 100KB) and each user has 2 pageviews, that will decrease your bandwidth by 14.3GB

    So 100GB bandwidth should suffice unless you plan on growing.
