How is GB transfer per. month...

Post by nigma »

Would someone be willing to explain to me how you calculate how many GB's of transfer a website gets each month?

I would calculate as follows:

Traffic per Month
=
Traffic by users visiting your site (HTML-Pages, Images, etc.)
+
FTP-Traffic (Upload and Download)
+
ingoing Mail-Traffic (Mail counts twice, first as the server gets the mail and second when you download it)
+
outgoing Mail-Traffic (similar to ingoing, first as mail is uploaded to the server, second when the server sends it)
+
Script Socket calls to remote servers (for example fopen with http://)
+
traffic for other things
---------------------

That's how I'd calculate site traffic.

Greets,
Chris
