    How much bandwidth do you use?

    I'm new to the adult webmaster industry. What does an average adult website use in bandwidth a month?

    Some hosts say $5.00 a gig, which sounds reasonable. My non-adult lingerie site pulls a little less than 5 gigs a month and gets just a little under 1000 hits a day. I only have about 550-580 lingerie images.

    How much bandwidth would I expect for an adult site? Not the lingerie site, but a full soft-core/babe site.

    How much bandwidth do you use?

    I average 100kb per visitor on my MyGirlz.com site. With about 7,000 visitors per day, that comes to 21gb per month. Currently, I'm with reliable hosting on their 15gb plan so this month would cost me $50 (plan) + $24 ($4/xtra gb) = $74.

    I don't know if it's considered high, but I'm still working on lowering that 100kb per visitor ratio.

        RedShoe,

        There's no way to answer this because there is no "average" adult site.

        5 gigs wouldn't even be anything close to a good DAY for me, and we're next to nothing compared to the big boys . . .

        One thing I can answer for you though . . . $5 a gig is reasonable, but on the high end, especially if you're going to be doing any TGP posting. I'd consider 3 to 4 dollars a good price, and even lower if you do a LOT of traffic

              About 3-6 GB per day. I don't want to spend money on hosting yet, so I am still running everything from my own server. I am looking for some good cheap hosting though. I know that there are good companies out there whho charce less than 5$ per GB.

                Check out prohosters I belive they are taking new clients now you can get it as low
                as $2 a gig and I think the most is like $3
                They seam to be pretty good now http://www.prohosters.com
                I would suggest Semi-Dedicated Hosting over
                getting just the Virtual Hosting to help keep your web site fast

                  I go dedicated. It is easier to expand. Plus if I get a stupid idea, like creating seemypicsfrommyvacation.com it does really cost me much, just the cost of the domain.

                          For those of you dedicated folks out there, this is an average of my statistics:

                          I transfer any where from 1.5 to 2GB per 10,000 uniques (about 150KB total transfer per unique on average). I did 101k uniques yesterday, transferred about 17GB. At that rate, I was serving approximately 10-30 people per second, at an average of 100-300KB per second. This brings me right around a 2mbps pipe, hitting 3mbps occassionaly. I transfer around 600GB per month and pay $1400 in bandwidth costs. You can employ bandwidth throttling which will allow you to cut down your bandwidth so that it stays under a certain level (I have tried, but it seems to refuse connections to a lot of people).

                            I almost signed with prohosters myself. I didn't because I wanted them to take a cc for the first payment, then bill me afterwards, and they wouldn't do it. screw em.
