How Much Bandwidth Does a New Forum Need?
« on: Today at 08:22:32 AM »
Hello everyone, I’m trying to estimate hosting costs before launching my forum.
If I have around 50–100 daily visitors, how much monthly bandwidth would I need?
Does forum software use a lot of server resources? Can I rely on Swisslayer.com KVM VPS?

Any beginner tips would be appreciated.
The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

For 50–100 daily visitors, your forum won’t use much bandwidth, usually well under 20GB/month. You don’t need a VPS at this stage.

I’d suggest starting with a basic shared hosting plan from Bodhost. It’s affordable, easy to manage, and comes with solid support, which is important when you’re just starting out.

You can always upgrade later if your traffic grows, but for now shared hosting is the smart and cost-effective choice.
