BANDWIDTH question

[krisicash]

I am expecting a lot of traffic. How long do you think my hosting is gonna live ? Is there a bandwith limit or something that will help me to know when my hosting is gonna die ?

How i can count how much bandwith my site is consuming ? my index.html is 5kb
How many visitors it can stand ?

BH monitors traffic to and from its servers. If it notices that your account is drawing a lot of bandwidth and creating a high load, they will likely get in touch with you directly.

The total bandwidth consumed by your account during the current month is displayed in the left column of the cPanel main page.

With a 5k main page, you'll need 200 visitors to consume about a megabyte worth of bandwidth. I typically use well over 200 megabytes per month with no problem (and I'm quite sure that many people use a whole lot more than that). At 40,000 visitors per month, you'd still be only around 200 megabytes.

Yes but there is CPU throttling going on? So this makes me concerned http://i51.tinypic.com/ak766x.jpg

1. CPU throttling is primarily caused by script execution rather than serving up static HTML pages. (And no, I have at most about 10 seconds or so of throttling per day.)

2. Do you seriously expect to have over 400,000 visitors per month? If so, your IT staff should be able to recommend whether or not to use Bluehost.

Seriously, I think that you're way over-concerned over what will undoubtedly turn out to be a non-issue.

There is java script in my index.html I am hosting facebook application on my bluehost and it is going viral..So this happend to me before on my shared hosting on godaddy, It died
I don't know how many visitors per month to expect.I don't have IT staff so i just wanted to ask someone more competent than me, before it's too late.

But i will continue to use Bluehost and it is not because i have 250 days until my hosting account expire, i just like bluehost and i am testing my projects on it
I have VPS server ready so if my hosting goes down i will re up.Thanks for your help..
What is the throttling limit for bluehost and how will i know if i exceed it?

There is java script in my index.html

So that's a static page as far as the serv er is concerned and so will use almost no CPU.

JavaScript runs in your visitor's web browser and not on the server.

With Bluehost, you can get a pro-rated refund for whatever portion of that 250 days you don't use.

As your site's traffic develops, you should keep an eye on your bandwidth consumption in the left cPanel pane and use the "Throttling" icon to see how much throttling your site is encountering.

I think I read in Matt Heaton's blog that the CPU throttling is dynamically adjusted. If I understood it correctly, whether or not you get throttled at any particular point depends on the total server load versus what resources your account is trying to use.
