| Price: (in US Dollars)
In this section, select the price level
that you're willing to pay each month. Please note that some
providers charge customers every 3 months, 6 months, or even
annualy.
Disk Space Requirement:
In this section, select the disk space
that you need for your web pages. Basically, a small web site
will require 10-50 MB, a medium web site requires somewhere
around 50-150 MB, and a large web site usually requires more
than 150 MB.
Data Transfer Allowance: (Bandwidth)
Every time visitors open your web pages,
the data associated with those pages is transferred. For example,
if your web page contains a 30KB image and the HTML file itself
is 12KB, total data transfer is 42KB for that page.
Bandwidth really depends on what is on
your web site. Sites containing graphics require more bandwidth
than text-based web sites. Audio and video files require a
very large bandwidth transfer allowance.
