How Much Space do you Need to Host Your Website?

The more data and images your pages contain, the larger the file sizes will be. Pictures and their backgrounds really increase the amount of space that you will need to host your website and also how long it will take it to load.

Conservatively, a dozen basic web pages will fit in a Meg's worth of space. [For reference, there are 1024 Kilobytes (Kb) in a Megabyte (Meg)].

Here is how to find out how much space your files will need.

1. In Windows, open the folder that you have your web pages and images saved in.

2. Press and hold the CTRL key and click, one by one, all the files that are a part of that page. (don't click files that are not a part of the page)

3. When the files are all highlighted, you'll see the amount of space they occupy, displayed in the bar at the bottom of the screen (folder).

4. Now that you know the size of your website, you can safely purchase a hosting account that will meet your needs.
