This a very informative article! I can say that CPU usage is the most important on a shared hosting. Most of companies will allow to use unlimited bandwidth, but will not allow to use maximum CPU.
The uptime is also very important!

I think you guys are pretty on it as far as bandwidth. Oh and by the way, great article! I am new to this and the calculating formula is A+! Asterhost great point, in this day and age if your host site isn’t up to the 99.9% up time standard, they are behind. I see so many resellers in my area focusing more on bandwidth, with HUGE and I mean HUGE bandwidth allotments. I never understood that so I came here to make sure I wasn’t behind the ball. I could use a touch up to the plans on bandwidth, but at least I know I am not offering wasted space.

Thanks for the article!

I think more important than bandwith is uptime at 99,9% monthly. If hosting company offers only 98% uptime better find another one.

@Frank:
Yes indeed hosting offers nowadays are unbelievably cheap. There are even companies that are offering unlimited hosting capacity!

The main purpose of this blogpost, however, is not to tell you which hosting service to go for. Rather, it’s to guide users thru the bandwidth calculation process – in turn, estimate how much bandwidth do their websites need.

How about 1500 Terabytes per month? That is what The Piratebay uses up.
