How Much Disk Space Do You Really Need?

Unlimited Disk Space?

Most websites use less than 500 MB of disk space, with each page taking up around 1 to 2 MB. It's strongly advised not to have pages larger than 2 MB, due to their long loading time, which leads to a bad user experience. Many web hosting providers will offer unlimited disk space, yet 2 to 5 GB is more than enough for most individuals and small businesses.

 

Here are a table that show disk space requirements based on page size, technology used and number of monthly visitors.

 

AVERAGE PAGE SIZE NUMBER OF PAGES DISK SPACE NEEDED
1 MB 50 50 MB
  CMS / FRAMEWORK BASE SPACE
  WordPress, Drupal & Joomla! 350 to 700 MB
  PHP, Python & Node.js 150 to 400 MB
