Bandwidth Options for Every Need at webhosting.uk.com

Posted on 2/22/2010 at 2:23:24 PM

Websites are usually designed to handle a certain number of connections for a certain period of time. The actual requirement depends greatly on the type of website. Those that house downloadable content like games, movies and others may require extended connections. Thus for a 12 Mbps connection downloading content for 1 minutes will require 12 Mbps multiplied by 60 seconds or 720 Mbits. Dividing this by 8 bits per 1 Byte will yield 90 MB per connection. Thus, to service 100 such connections per month will require 90MB * 100 or 9 GB of monthly bandwidth.

At webhosting.uk.com, this requirement can easily be serviced by their cheapest option, the copper line of their Reseller Hosting options which offers 50 GB of bandwidth per month for only twenty pounds sterling or $40-45 US. Higher requirements can be serviced by Cloud Hosting which offers 300 GB per month which translates to over 600, 1 minute, connections at 12 Mbps, or 20 such connections per day, for only 25 Pounds or over $50 per month. These prices are offered for Windows VPS options and Linux options for the same 300 Bandwidth per month is only 18 Pounds or $36-40 US. Other higher options include dedicated and semi-dedicated servers.
