How much diskspace do you ACTUALLY use?

A lot of people choose to buy 'unlimited' hosting when they don't need much space at all. Most people use 100MB space, maximum, as not many people have websites that need a lot of space.

So, how much space do you use?

MyBB is 1.80 MB (default). With some plugins, it will be more. You've got the frontend blog, and that's all I can find.

I highly doubt this site is uses 1.5 GB of disk space.

Hmm, I guess the blog takes up a lot of space then, as the forum is pretty leight weight.

Yep. WordPress is very resource-heavy.

When I used it, it wasn't. However I did optimize it a hell of a lot.

Well I never bothered to optimize it :P I installed a plugin that makes it faster but I barely noticed the difference. I think the problem is that webhostigpad.com has a slow web connectoin.

You must have a pretty bad line if you say it's slow. It's fine for me. You should just optimize it if you find it slow.

Thos is weird. Many people say it's fine and that it is fast enough. Others, includong me and my friend with a fiber internet connection to his house thst is AFAIK more than 200mbps, thijk its really slow...
