    Dear Debarshi18,

    I think that 10GB or even less will be enough for you.
    Bandwidth will be based on your visitors amount + media that you host on your server.

    For start i think 10GB may be great even too much.

    Note: dont forget you always can upgrade your package in any company.

    Yep. That disk space will be sufficient. But you need to consider more about the bandwidth. Such sites getting tons of traffics per month.

    Start with 1 GB space. It is more than enough. You can upgrade your hosting plan as your website grows.

    Also, make sure you host the images/media on external websites. This would help on saving bandwidth and server resources.

    I agree with monty. Start with about 1GB and don't buy more then at least 6 months with a new host as they could be a bad host. Your site will be new hardly any visitors or even data etc.. So you won't need more then 5GB while your starting.

    If you like the sound of 10GB go for it but it will cost more. Average price is about $1/$2 per 1GB.

    You always have the option to upgrade the hosting package so I would also suggest you to start with a small package. As your requirement increases you can easily upgrade the hosting package. This would surely help you to save some bucks.
