Data Measurements

Data Measurements

Just how much SPACE do you need or want?
Measurements are provided and calculated to give you an idea of the size of your website and how much storage you want to have.

One megabyte equals a unit of computer information storage capacity equal to 1,048,576 bytes or 8,388,608 BITS

One gigabyte equals a unit of computer information storage capacity equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes

Kilobyte—Megabyte—Gigabyte
Byte = 1 character per page
(the above sentence is 27 bytes, includes characters an a space)
KB = Thousand -- 1,000
MB = Million -- 1,000,000
GB = Billion -- 1,000,000,000

The calculations are based on:
In the cases when used to describe data storage bits/bytes are calculated as follows:
1 byte = 8 bits
1 kilobyte (K or Kb) = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes
1 megabyte (M or MB) = 2^20 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
1 gigabyte (G or GB) = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 terabyte (T or TB) = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
1 petabyte (P or PB) = 2^50 bytes = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
1 exabyte (E or EB) = 2^60 bytes = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes

1 BIT = .125 byte
1 byte = 8 BITs or (0.0009765625 kilobyte) or (9.5367431640625e-7 megabytes)
1 kilobyte equal to 1,024 bytes; however, the IEC defines that one KB is equal to 1,000 bytes. Therefore, a KB could really equal either of these values.
1 megabyte = 1,048,576 bytes (1024 bytes x 1024 bytes)
1 gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes (1 GB) ÷ 1,048,576 bytes (1 MB) = 1024 MB

Exact Conversion
1,024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB)
1,024 Kilobytes (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)
1,073,741,824 Bytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)
1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 Megabyte (MB)

Dictionary Explanations Pertaining to a Computer

1 BIT

Sometimes abbreviated as b, a bit is short for Binary digIT and is a single unit of information that can have a value of either ON or OFF.

When attempting to determine the amount of colors in a bit color depth, this can be calculated by: 2 to the power of the bit color. In other words, an 8-bit color would be 2^8 = 256 colors.

1 byte

Byte is data equal to either 7/8 bits depending if it needs error correction (parity). A byte is spelled as byte and not bite.

1 kilobyte

Abbreviated as K or KB, a Kilobyte is equal to 1,024 bytes; however, the IEC defines that one KB is equal to 1,000 bytes. Therefore, a KB could really equal either of these values.

With a lowercase b (Kb), this refers to a kilobit. See our kilobit page for definition of a
kilobit.

1 megabyte

Mb is short for megabit and is 1,000,000 bits, or 10⁶, Mb commonly usually expresses the rate at which data is transferred, for example, "10/100 Mbps" represents 10 or 100 megabits per second, the common speed of a standard network card.
Also abbreviated as meg, MB is short for megabyte. A MB is a common measurement used with computer storage media. A Megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes; however, the IEC defines that one MB is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, or 10⁶. Therefore, a MB could really equal either of these values.
mb or MB is also short for Motherboard, see our motherboard definition for additional information.

1 gigabyte

Short for Gigabyte, GB is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes, however the IEC defines a GB equal to 10⁹ or 1,000,000,000 bytes. Therefore, a GB could be either of these values; many hard disk drive manufacturers and computer manufacturers will define what they consider a Gigabyte to equal in the fine print.

A Gb, or Gigabit, is different from a GB; see our Gigabit definition for additional information

1 terabyte

A terabyte or TB, is equal to 1,099,511,627,776 bytes; however, the IEC defines a TB equal to 10¹², or 1,000,000,000,000, bytes. Therefore, a TB could be equal to either of these values.

1 petabyte

A petabyte, or PB, is equal to 10¹⁵, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.

1 exabyte

Short for Exabyte, an EB is 10¹⁸ or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.

Text, tables, pictures, etc., on a page determines how many bytes per page and the files in your directories. This page is about 25 KB. There are no extra photos/pictures. If a picture is applied on a page that is not a border or frame, the bytes are much higher. The picture resolution and how it was saved, determines picture size in bytes. A low resolution photo would take about 12 KB making this page 36 KB. An average high resolution photo would be around 44 KB + 25 KB which would make this page a total of 69 KB.

Lets say that that an average page would have photos that equaled 12 KB:
If an average page is 36 KB, then 1024 bytes (1 KB) times 36 KB = 36,864 bytes for this page size.

Lets say that that you are using 1 MB space on the server of your root directory and each page is 36 KB (not counting the other folder that have images or pages under those folders):
1,048,576 bytes (1 MB) divided by this page size (36,864 bytes) = over 28 pages
If 1,048,576 bytes are divided by 1024 (1 KB), this equals 1024 kilobytes.
1024 kilobytes divided by this page (36 KB) equals over 28 pages
28 pages of of this page (36 KB) size, times 25 MB of your hosting space = a capacity of about 900 pages.
If you have many pictures that eat up bytes, then you will have less pages.

Of course, if you add eCommerce, video, sound, hot bots, codes, plug-ins, java applet, fancy tables and so on, your page's KB's will add up. This would mean you would have less pages. It's always wiser to have a little more hosting space than you need. Note that if you have many pages with the additions as just mentioned and you keep making changes uploading, your bandwidth gets used. Also, if you have a lot of traffic (people that visit your site), they are spending time and using your allowed bandwidth on the server.

You can tell the total space you are using simply by using Windows Explorer or My computer. Right click the name of your website directory and click Properties. It will show you the size in MB and KB.

Anyway, if you choose a hosting or reseller package with EayOK Web Services, you will be able to see your sites statistics and usage in your Control Panel.

Info For Resellers

Resellers are allotted 100 GB (102,400 MB) of SPACE. If you were to sell 500 MB of space to your clients, you will have 204 accounts. If you were to sell 100 MB of space, you will have 1,024 accounts. You can sell space for whatever amount you please and you keep all the PROFIT!

1 GB	=	1024 MB's	6 GB	=	6144 MB's
2 GB	=	2048 MB's	7 GB	=	7168 MB's
3 GB	=	3072 MB's	8 GB	=	8192 MB's
4 GB	=	4096 MB's	9 GB	=	9216 MB's
5 GB	=	5120 MB's	10 GB	=	10240 MB's
