bviously you don't want to pay for web space you don't use. So we offer this advice; plan ahead for your web site. What are you going to put on it? If it's mostly text (like an online journal), well, this doesn't take up much room. A few graphics? A bit more room will be needed. Some photographs of the family? Now we're starting to talk about larger file sizes. Video of baby's first steps. OK, now you really need to stop and think "How much space do I need?"
Here are some examples of the different purposes web sites may be put to:
Personal Web Sites
- blogs (web logs, or online journals)
- fan sites (your favourite car, team, game, music group, or celebrity)
