That depends on the type of web site you intend to design. All of your web pages will use space on the servers’ hard disk. A page that uses a lot of graphics, or maybe has video or audio embedded within it, will use more space than a simpler page. Similarly, if you intend to have some form of database available for your visitors that too will take up disk space. Email also takes up space, as do any files you may have available for download by visitors. Don’t try and limit yourself too much – the space that is just enough now may be too restrictive in just a few months. Always leave some space available for expansion – you may not need it right now but it will be a comfort to know that it is there if needed in a hurry.
