A small or medium business web site will consume between 400MB and 2GB of data transfer per month. You can calculate your approximate needs by multiplying your average page size with the number of expected page views per month. If your average page size is 30KB and you expect 20,000 page views per month, you will need 0.03MB x 20,000 = 600MB. Larger, commercial sites often consume more than 100GB of monthly traffic.
A small or medium web site will need between 10 and 100MB of disk space.
If you look at the size of HTML pages, you will see that the average size is very small. Maybe even smaller than 1KB. But if you look at the size of the images (button, gif, banner, jpg) used inside the pages, you will often find images many times larger than the page itself. Expect each HTML page to take up between 5 and 50KB of disk space on your web server, depending on the use of images or other space consuming elements. If you plan to use lots of images or graphic elements (not to mention sound files or movies), you might be needing much more disk space.
