    I'm just curious ...how much space does a website like this one need ?

    I don't need this much,however I could use it sort of like a reference point if I knew.

    10 gigabytes and 150 gb/month bandwidth.

    Enough for Clutch to need a <a href="http://www.clutchcity.net/tipjar.cfm">tip jar.</a>

    This is likely not a good reference point.

    holy ****! 10 gigabytes of server space? Please tell me you are including the bbs in this count. I can believe your transfer rate, but 10 gigs of server space?!?!!?!!!?

    Understand, that is for the BBS. The ClutchCity.net site only needs about 500MB but the BBS requires more for all the archived messages.

    <table><tr><td bgcolor="EEE5DE"><font face-"Verdana, Arial" size="2">
    </font></td></tr></table>

    5 gig a day? I knew we pulled some bytes, just never realized it was that much on a daily basis.

    The average site that you would probably make would be under 50mb and most sites are under 5 or 10mb.

    But as you know this site his huge b/c of the databases w/ all of the archived news and stats.

    Even the site itself pulls alot for a website - like 30 to 40GB which makes it hard to find good hosting. Most people who have that kind of bandwidth requirments have their own server. :)
