During my time as a sales rep I came across a countless number of people who were unsure about the amount of storage that they needed, but what I found it really came down to was a real lack of understanding about file sizes. So below, I’ll break it down for you and give you some examples.
- 1 KB (one KiloByte) = 1,024 Bytes
- 1 MB (one MegaByte) = 1,024 KB
- 1 GB (one GigaByte) = 1,024 MB
So lets set these to common, everyday examples:
- A 5 page paper I wrote in MS Word is about 35KB.
- The file size for the sitemap on this website is under 10KB.
- Most music files of about 3-4 minutes are 3-5MB.
- Adobe Photoshop CS, a huge piece of photo manipluation software, is about 50MB on my computer.
- This website is under 10MB.
Many of the best web hosts are offering thousands of gigabytes of storage — a goal that’s near impossible for the everyday website to reach — but they offer those number because a large number of people think bigger is better and don’t quite realize how big 1GB is! On thebestwebhostinglist.com you’ll notice that we’re not just offering those companies who offer unlimited storage or more than 1,500GB — we also showcase the companies who offer smaller amounts of storage.
