Is 2500 MB a lot of bandwidth?

    I've flipped some sites and have some hosting customers. The trouble is several accounts I've needed to upgrade several times and it's still early in the month. One of the sites is brand new so I know it's not the traffic and the other sites don't have any problems with the bandwidth.

    Is 2500 MB a lot of bandwidth?

    I'm running some scripts, but it's the same scripts I'm running on all the sites and the others don't have a problem even with less bandwidth.

    Also does this reset at the beginning of the month?

    Thanks

    Hum.......... I think a 10 Gb bandwidth is a minimum .......... anyway, if your site's design is simple and you do not have a huge number of visitors ti may be suffisent....

    10 gb, no way. This is just some space I'm offering if they don't want to transfer their site. I do recommend that they do transfer, I even give them a link to hostgator which they can host multiple sites with 24/7 toll-free tech support for just a few bucks more.

    And like I said it's similar to the other sites which has way less space. And it's a new site so traffic shouldn't be an issue.

    Thanks

    Haha, thats nothing. To put it in perspective, you're average HTML/CSS site will probably take about 0.5 mb per page. (Might fluctuate depending on how image intensive it is/how compressed everything is). So your looking at potentially only 5000 views which is nothing.

    Even though 2.5 gigs is not a heck of a lot imo but its ok for a new site. Its not bad since they probably won't even use 1 gig for a longtime unless they are good at promoting them they'll need a fast upgrade

    No, it's not ! A lot of bandwidth would be 2500 GB, not MB ;)

    Very low. minimum dedicated hosting plans mostly come with 1000gb or 1000000MB per month.

    I would say that 2500MB is very low BW. but it depends on how many visitors do you have

    2500 MB isn't much.

    Check your server logs...maybe a bot or spider is consuming a lot of bandwith.
