Average Bandwidth Usage Per Forum

[OceanLove]

May I know whats the average bandwidth used per forum hosted for free?

This will honestly depend on how active your forums and users are. Forums with no visits use no bandwidth, but there really isn't an "average" usage. I would say from experience though that you should get a MINIMUM of 10GB bandwidth per month, if not 20GB. This is if you assume your site will become popular.

So my 600GB might just about stretch? :P

What about your freemybb.com, whats the size of the bandwidth used?

Ok good. I have unlimited bandwidth here so I can heck care about it.

What about disk space? BMR, how much have you used in freemybb? I need an estimation.. lol

[powerchaos]

hmm , about diskspace isnt that mutch i think

maybe 400 mb (database) and max 1 GB i think

it all depends on how many forums you got and how many posts , the forum on his own takes only 50 mb or so (if it is that mutch)

but the big problem is the database , becouse everything is stored in to the datbase

A bit more like 5MB for the forum files only...

[BMR777]

Yeah, for disk space take the space used by the MyBB files and multiply by 4. That's all you'll really need with themes and such. The only exception is if you allow large attachments. Personally I have my server set to reject attachments larger than 2MB. :)

Hmm.. So about 5 GB space should do? I have unmetered bandwidth in my vps so I don't think bandwidth is a problem.. Only thing is space haha
