Start with at least 300 GB webspace and 3000 GB bandwidth.





If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months' time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.





I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.





Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend...





They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.


Visit the site to check details.

Now a days you can purchase web hosting accounts that come with 300GB of bandwidth and more for only $5/mo.





1and1.com is one example of this.. there are tons more. Why not shoot high and see what you can get. I would say get anything over 100GB just to be safe. I'm sure you won't use it.. but maybe.
Reply:I would say you take in account your website regarding the KB of your pages. If you have a main page with images, and a couple of other pages in the same fashion in your site, you could easely have 100 Kb for people to navigate. If you multiply this times your expected 100,000 visitors daily, that turns into rougly 300 Gb downloading per month.





In general, just add the Kb of all the pages, images, and other content you will be hosting oun your server (exclude the content hosted in other servers like the games that will be in photobucket), multiply that times the number of visitors, times 30 days in a month, then divide by 1,000,000 to get the Gbs.





Check www.godaddy.com, they have an economy plan that gives 250 Gb monthly transfer, and a Deluxe plan of 1,000 Gb. I don麓t like their control panel, but you can certainly find hosting with this capabilities.
