Hello everyone.

I am writing this today to find something out related to bandwidth, trying to figure out what to really do, since I', running into trouble.

Lets say I have an estimated 113,461 visitors to my site, on a daily basis, each viewing at least10 pages, with page sizes of 130k times 31 times 2 as a fudge factor(trying to play it safe) = 9,144,961,800

"Usually, hosting plans offer bandwidth in terms of Gigabytes (GB) per month. This is why our formula takes daily averages and multiplies them by 31."(Unidentified source)

What is that... 9.14 million kilobytes a day?

So if there is at least 115 kb/s X's 86400 seconds a day that is...9.9 GB's rounded?

Lets say 10 GB is to be used a day, but we can account for the peak days to be on weekends for this much visitors, would an extra 10 GB a day be a safe way to play it?

Basically, I have 115,000 visitors (rounded up), and I'm taking the average size of a page to be 130k, I need to figure out how much bandwidth I should sign up and buy from X host...(Thinking of having another data center help make sure my site stays up 24/7.)

...Can x10 handle an average of 20 GB bandwidth a day to go to my site, year round, if I signed with someone I've at least been with for a number of years.

Also, I'm looking for Northern New Jersey Residents, (United States Of America) who are with x10 and have a number of different skills I'm looking for...More on job opportunities later.
