I've got 400 megs on my account (unlimited bandwidth), and I was figuring on reserving about 150 megs of said space for a vBulletin. Just to get some perspective, how long will 150 megs last me? Like, how many members and how many posts will fit into 150 megs? Should I reserve more or less than that for it?

Thanks a lot! Sorry for the multiple questions in one little ol' post.

not sure exactly but my forum's database for vbulletin when dumped/backed up comes to a size of 22 MB - during the 13 weeks since it opened it has 680+ members, 37100+ posts

are you on a virtual hosted account ? cause log files are counted for dedicated servers but not for virtual hosting accounts.

on my stats 150MB could last you over 12 - 18 months :)

pay as you go if you can.

That's sweet! I'm on virtual hosting now. Don't have enough ca$h for dedicated. But I'm doing pretty good with virtual anyway. And if that's gonna last me that long, then I've got a long time before I have to worry about anything. Thanks! :)
