I have a strange question: about a month and a half ago we launched a new
site for a client that has been very successful. As a result, their hosting
provider is dinging them with a massive rate increase for bandwidth usage.
The IT manager is trying to pin that on us for some dysfunctional reason
rather than talk to their ad sales department about increasing the budget
allocated for hosting :(.
Without going into the corporate structure of this particular client, I do
think we need to protect ourselves with some statistics showing that the
page weights are normal, and that they are simply victims of their own
success. To do that I need to find some stats on typical bandwidth usage
per session/day for typical websites. Any links would be appreciated.
Secondly: they are experiencing in the region of 40,000 page views per day
and their season is still warming up. In the opinions of the web server
professionals on this list, what would be a typical bandwidth (Mb/day) use
for a professionally developed site with that kind of traffic?
Unfortunately I cannot post the URL, but suffice to say that we design
within the same guidelines as most successful professional web developers.
TIA
