What disk space is essential for your web site?

Many companies, rendering services of a web hosting, try to sell at once a considerable quantity of disk space for which subsequently you should pay a great sum every month. You sometime counted up, what size (in mbytes) occupies your website? Whether it is necessary for you to gain a considerable quantity of this disk space?

For the first site I have bought 20 MB (mbyte) of a disk space and it was interesting to me to learn, whether it will be enough even if I add new pages. Recently I have decided to check up the size of my site which has grown to + 20 pages. I have been surprised, when have learnt that its size only 3,269 KB (kilobyte). It means that the site occupies hardly more than 3 MB of a disk space.

The majority of sites of my friends also use no more than 2-3 MB. Therefore, for small sites it is completely not necessary to buy a considerable quantity of disk space (if 20 pages = 3 MB, then 20 MB = approximately 140 pages).

Whether you overpay for a disk space?

If to unite together 1024 byte of the information the unit of measure, named kilobyte will turn out. And 1024 kilobyte gives one mbyte. (The majority of floppy disks 1.4 MB of the information) can store. The size of the majority of maps and web pages are defined in bytes and kilobytes.
