Hi, i have a amd 64 3000+,1gb ddr 400 and 120 gb HD ,my connection is cable 1mb(down)/512k(up) like 130kb/s down and 64kb/s up,the question is if i can make a web server and how many people can see the web or if i would have problems with bandwith or something like that, my computer is on a lot of days and i restart it few times.
What do you think is possible? i think hardware is not the problembut bandwith.... |

You bandwidth is fine, I only have 2Mbps down and 200Kbps up, thats less than half yours. You wont have any problems.

I get 2,000+ visitors every 1/2 of the month and I don't notice any change. I
limit the size of my files to about 500 KB maximum. I wouldn't worry about it.
Five things that can help you serve files in a fast pace.
01. Use Gzip (PHP Scripting can do this)
02. Make your pages, and files small.
03. Try and compress your HTML code.
04. Compress your images/use png format.
05. Archive your file downloads using 7-Zip.
All you have to do is make everything small and you can serve as many
visitors as you can. I gave my secret away, now everyone can have faster
websites. Your website should load faster if you follow the rules.
Sincerely, TRUSTpunk |

I get 200 visitors a day, plus the other websites I host on the free hosting and I see no difference in my download speed etc. The only time it will become a problem is if you have lots of large files on your website.
If you have large files limit the download speed to 2/3 - 3/4 of your upload, so about 45KB/s as a maximum. You can do this on global bandwidth limits.
