yes thats right, but 1000 visitors per day is absolutely nothing, you will need a lot of BW if you want to make the $$$.

I know. This was just to have an idea how much bandwith would I burn.

Let's say I want to run a TGP website with thumb preview

1. html file size 100 Kb
2. 60 thumbs * 3 Kb (each thumb) = 180 Kb
3. other banners & stuff = 100 Kb
---------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL: 380 Kb

lets say I have just 1000 unique visitors per day that makes
1000 visitors * 380 Kb = 380 Mb / day = 11,4 Gb (11400 Mb) / month

Is this correct?

The html page by itself should be about 10 Kb , unless you have a hell of alot of scripts in there... and even there it would not be 100 kb.

You shouldn't base it on uniques.

If someone comes to your site 5 times a day, he would request the images/pages 5 times (let's assume he's not caching them all the first visit).

So while at 1000 uniques and no movies it might not make a large difference, but if you get a lot more traffic ,calculating your way, the difference could add up.

Well, many users cache the page. So that's only a small portion of people with caching disabled.

so if the users cache the page it will load from their memory and will not affect my bandwith bill?

ya but you usually have to setup cache on your hosting.. im not sure about linux but on win2k it is really easy to set cache from anywhere from 1 minute to 1 year. If they want to refresh they would have to hold shift down and click refresh.
