Is 50mb enough for a typical website?

Question

Like for an artist displaying his work or a photographer?

Answer 1

well its enough if he can manage the resolutions and preveiews
having mulitple links on single page with perfect encoding is the best solution .while the best disigns now days are Macro they consume less space and are very bright , but as we all know they are not much sucessful like HTML .
for a artist i would prefer around 12 pages with 1 page of 30 mb and other enconding towards it.

Answer 2

Depends on how many images. My personal experience and opinion: ... it would be enough to display low-quality images... but if this 50mb encompasses bandwith and you have to pay for that you'd go way over fast. If your an artist or doing a site for one the images would most likely be large in file size so the works of art are represented well. Your not going to post some fuzzy compressed size image. I suppose it could work but you would be so limited. You can get much more disk space very cheap.. don't skimp especially if this is your meal ticket

Answer 3

Probably. If you're going to be displaying pictures and pictures of artwork, it eats up space very quickly. How quickly depends on how big the pictures are and the quality of the pictures. Most websites I've worked on range between 1 and 3 MB, but they have very few photos. One thing if you get crunched on space is that you could create your page, but store any pictures you have on another free web site such as yahoo geocities or one of the picture sites and just reference the html code to the picture's location there.

Answer 4

for a typical website 50mb is more than enough

Answer 5

Up to your images type of files. If your images file only gif type is ok. I think 50 mb that enough.
