RE: Hosting: Estimating Bandwidth uses?

Using MRTG at the router is a good way to view 'usage statistics' in the
form of bandwidth utilization. Not sure if this is possible for you, but it
might help.

Subject: Hosting: Estimating Bandwidth uses?


First the question,how can I estimate bandwith being used on virtual hosting
sites?

Now the sorid details:
During the recent forest fires here in Colorado(US),
A local website which ran a blog,and chat group
to keep local residents update, was getting 500,000
"pageviews" per day. The web sites owner problem is he's being  billed for
pageview over certain limit?
His hosting company only provides pageviews, now bandwith used?

My comment was "most" webhost offer a base andwitdth usealy between 3-5
Gb/mo as a starting point.

I might as well as be talking to a brickwall?
He wants a site with "unlimited" pageviews?
Back to my question, is their some why to estimate
bandwidth using web access logs for intance? Or
if the average page size was 1mb and he 500,000 on
a single would 500,000 mb of bandwidth be a good
estimate?


TIH,
David
