Hi Giles

Quick glimpse at our client stats, per annum:

Small museum, say 100k page views, 25K users
Biggish (sub-national) museum, say 1m page views, 250k users

Obviously a very different use case to what you're doing, but may give you some indication.

As Matthew says, transfer isn't generally limited (well, not within museum type realms of traffic, anyway...) - storage and memory are usually the things that change price.

The Digital Ocean pricing page illustrates this pretty well: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/ - you'll find much the same at most other hosts. 

IMO if you're not confident being a server admin, don't self (as in "hardware in your organisation") host. In fact, I'd say don't use Digital Ocean direct either, instead grab a service that gives you a managed layer over the top - something like CloudWays, ServerPilot, etc etc.

Mike

Can anyone share examples (or templates for estimating) the required bandwidth for hosting online resources?

I’m specifying a museum-related scholarly resource. I know how big the data is, but don’t know how popular the site is likely to be (not very, probably) and hence how much traffic the host can expect.

How do others calculate this?
