Hosting a Blog

[Uphoreka]

I'm creating a blog. Do you think 5GB Disk space and 10GB Bandwidth good for hosting a blog?

That should be enough for now unless you are providing downloads or have heavy graphics on your blog.

Like there's this one theme where you have to post a featured image for every post.

That's fine. It wouldn't impact much on the bandwidth.

Okay, just really curious. Thanks!

If you are to start hosting content like bigger images or flv/video files then you need to upgrade but at the current time there is more than enough space.

I think upgrade it if your blog's going to get much traffic. 😀.

 

[Branden]

That is more then enough. It really depends on traffic and content.

That should be enough space 😀

 

[Fait]

It should be Enough to even host a forum

It should be more than enough, also I recommend enabling hotlink protections, so people don't steal your bandwidth.

Good suggestion how do you do this? 😀 I don't want people stealing my bandwidth either. 😀

If you are using cPanel, then it can be found under "HotLink Protection".

Go with wordpress.com :great: I love them

 

[Runefreak]

Yeah, wordpress is the best. :3

That is more than enough, and definitely should be fine for now. Like said, depends on the activity / content. 😉

That's way more than enough. In fact, your will not use more than 500mb space in the first months, sometimes not even after a year. As for the bandwidth, thats more than enough. Enabling hot-linking is not necessary at all.

If you want more information, PM me.

5 GB space is more than enough. You will need a better one only when your blog goes huge.
