Webmasters › Re: Cost Of Hosting A Website Getting Hundreds Of Millions Of Pageviews Monthly?? by Rafeeki: 12:22am On Jan 19, 2021

LMServices:
There are several factors to note here:

1. The page views calculated is 100 million/monthly. Naija loaded does not have this, I'm sure. No Nigerian website, blog or platform has this, not even Nairaland.

2. Average page size was estimated at 1 GB

Average Pagesize should be 1MB not 1GB. A page can't possibly be 1gb lol. Think that's where you made the mistake. Can you recalculate with 1MB as average page size? Thanks

Did you mistakenly add one 0 when calculating the needed bandwidth? I think you may have.

LMServices:
Based on what you provided, the actual bandwidth needed is 9259.2592592593 Mbits/s or 3043750 GB per month. With redundancy factor of 2, the bandwidth needed is 18518.518518519 Mbits/s or 6087500 GB per month.

3043750 GB = 3043.75 TB/monthly
6087500 GB = 6087.5 TB/monthly

Typically, most Web hosting providers will charge about $150 for 1 TB cloud hosting. Multiply this by the figures above and you'll have:

3043750 GB = 3043.75 TB/monthly ($450,000/monthly)

6087500 GB = 6087.5 TB/monthly (about $900,000/monthly)

This is a rough calculation that has not factored discounts. However, an average cost should be nothing less than $350,000—$800,000 monthly.

The above is a cost estimate for 100 million monthly page views.

Well, it isn't necessarily about payment or the amount being paid. First, there is a need to understand the type of website. How is the volume of media contents like (videos and pictures), are these same contents hosted on the same website?

So there is a need to understand:

1. The said website's disk space
2. The average size of each page on the website

Then to arrive a possible cost or a wild guess, the hosting provider's rate must be taken into account since pricing vary from one Web hosting provider to another.

Generally, it is a bit difficult to guess without those factors.

Thanks for the response.

Let's assume the average page on the website is 1mb.
(JavaScript, images, fonts, Css etc).

Let's say thw website disk space is unknown.

About what range would the hosting cost?
