Appropriate Storage Space

Before getting a hosting plan you must calculate that how many storage space you are required for your website. wrong calculation or choosing the wrong hosting package may create problems for you.

Generally, the webhosting companies offer various hosting plans on basis of storage space, number of emails, database and other features. usually the peoples prefer the basic hosting plan with low storage capacity. the reason is they prefer low cost and ignore the requirements of their website such as the storage space for database, pictures, contents and files uploaded by users.

Always make good calculation of space you required, as a general rule if there is no media file like videos, 200 kb is a moderate size of single page of your website. Then calculate the number of pages of your website which will result the exact storage capacity you need. And if there are video files you want to upload then you must be very careful make an idea of average size of your video file make an addition into storage capacity.   

When you finally have the final result of your storage requirement, get an extra space double to your requirements in coming year because you might need an extra space to upgrade your website, in that situation, there is no guarantee you could be able to get extra space on the same server on not, generally the hosting servers are full upto 80 percent of their space which means the web hosting company shall transfer your website to an other server where the space is available which take few hours downtime to complete this process.

so, consider the whole aspects that you might have to face and it is recommended to buy more storage space than you exactly needed for your website.
