you can find your bandwidth simply by, putting a counter on each page. multiplying the number of hits by the file size. do that for every file you have. and add em up. and chango presto! theres your bandwith.

/me scratches head...
now wait.. so you gotta uhh carry the four here... and bring the zero down... ermm wait no.. :lol:

just a few issues.

the file size isnt all that matters. there are also any images you have in the file, but you have you account for the fact that some people will view with text only browsers. you also have the issue that some computers are set to view the file with images from a temp. folder if it is reloaded. some don't. there is also data sent as part of your bandwidth, which means if a person posts on a message board or fills out a form, etc. that counts toward your bandwidth. that bandwidth is variable on what data is entered.

the idea of calculating that information manually as it is consistantly updating as your site is viewed means that the data you collect is out of date before you have finished calculating it.

and im not even gonna get into the fact that some counters dont count duplicate hits.

its a nice idea in theory though.

Ok, there is pretty much no website on this server that uses anywhere close to the 5 GB monthly limit. The closest one uses around 1 gig a month. Most of the sites here use under 100 MB a months. Do not worry about the limit, if your site is legal, and you dont have files over 100 MB (you are allowed to though) then you wont even get close to the limit. Well, that is, on most occassions.

Drawback, your site has used 2.36 MB in Feb. so far, just to give you an idea of the bandwidth amounts.

even though i havent had my site for long on your server i was just curious how much bandwith i have used since i moved to your server (about a week or 2 ago). Im sure it will be under 5mb!

if its not too much trouble?

tommy, ill be sending a cheque for £10GBP who do i make it out to? pcplayground.com or just "tommy" lol

cheers,
tom

heh, i wonder who got the 1 gig. lol. If he has the largest, then i dont think im going close to the 5 gig limmit. :D

Make it out to Tommy.

Thanks a lot. Question though, whats GBP? :)

Great Britain Pounds I beleive...it has the exchange rate of $15 USD (if my recolection serves me well).
