What factors should be Considered when Estimating the Storage Needs for a New Website or Domain?

Hey everyone,

I’m in the process of planning a new website and have reached the point where I need to estimate the storage requirements. As storage is a critical aspect of web hosting, I want to make sure I get it right from the start.

What factors should be considered when estimating the storage needs for a new website?

From what I understand, several elements play a role in determining the necessary storage capacity. Here are a few factors that come to mind:

• Website Content: The volume of text, images, videos, and other multimedia files.
• Database Size: If the website will have a significant amount of data stored in databases.
• Traffic and Usage: Expected number of visitors and their interaction with the site.
• Backup Requirements: How much space is needed for regular backups.
• Future Growth: Anticipating future expansion and additional content.

I’d love to hear your insights and experiences. What else should I be considering? Are there any tools or best practices that could help with accurate storage estimation? Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best, Jonathan Jone
