How much data transfer (bandwidth) do you think I will need?

Data transfer is the amount of data that is transferred between your site and your visitors browser. If the file size of a page on your website is 20KB and the page also makes use of two 10KB images, then every visitor to the page will download 40KB of data. If a thousand people download these files in a month, your monthly data transfer would be 39MB ((40KB * 1000) / 1024). So, the larger the file, the higher the data transfer usage when it is downloaded and the more traffic to your site, the more data transfer you will use.

As a rough guide, 1GB of data transfer a month is about 20,000 page views a month.
