Insights of Bandwidth for the standard website and a live streaming website
Review of Bandwidth
Bandwidth is data transfer capacity. The amount of data
that can be transferred back and forth from your website or webpage at a
specific time. And this data transfer incorporates all transfers, uploads, and
downloads, either HTTP or FTP.
Calculate the Bandwidth of your website
Web Hosting Bandwidth relies upon the site page size, the
number of guests to your site, and the number of pages they visit.
All you have to do is multiply the average page size with
the average number of guests and, then multiply the obtained value with the average
number of visited pages.
How much is required?
The order is as if the website has higher Bandwidth; the
transfer rate of data will be faster. Which, in turn, implies that the website
will be loaded more quickly. And this swiftness of the webpage attracts the
visitors towards the website and converts them in your potential
customers.
On the contrary, insufficient Bandwidth will make the
webpage sloppy. The website will take more time to load the content, images,
and posts, which will result in the damaged reputation of the website. So make
sure that you have bought the sufficient Web
Hosting Bandwidth.
For standard website
Well, it depends on the traffic to your site. If you just
start up and has less traffic on your website or your website has fewer pages
or content, you can engage well with small Bandwidth like 5 Gb or more or less.
Or if your website is dealing with massive online traffic,
or has more pages and content, it will require large Bandwidth for the ideal
execution of the site.
Also, if you want to grow your business online via your
website. Then you should buy more bandwidth package form the Web Hosting. In
this way, you will be able to host several visitors and substantial online
traffic.
For live streaming website
Bandwidth for live streaming is further divided, namely,
upload Bandwidth and download Bandwidth, and it depends on different
factors.
- Quality of the video, i.e., lower (144, 240), SD
(360, 480), Half HD (720), Full HD (1080)
- Color Depth (bits/pixel); number of colors
represented by each pixel.
- Frame Rate; quantity of still images or frames
per second (fps) in the video streaming
The bandwidth required for all mentioned videos lies in
0.5Mbps to 25 Mbps range per video.
One standard definition of bandwidth requirement cannot
be applied to all those working in different businesses. Keep in mind that during
inbound traffic and outbound traffic, the allocated Bandwidth is consumed,
i.e., whenever you transfer or receive any kind of data to the user or from the
user (either uploaded or downloaded) it is being added in the amount of
Bandwidth used.
So least try to make a room of extra Bandwidth of about
“1.5×rate of streaming” for a successful live broadcasting website while
signing up for Web Hosting.
