How will bandwidth affect users looking at my site? I have only 1 gig will it slow up if lots of people look at the site?

Is 1 gig enough for a personal site whereas 3 or 5 is adequate for a small club or community site?

1 gb is a lot of bandwidth unless you have a lot of large files. If you have just a few images and mostly text then 1 gig is enough. If you have videoclips and such then 1 gig may not be enough… it all depends on what you have on the site… not the nature of the site itself…
