Hi, Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not sure either of the bandwidth requirement for now.. But I know that we use over 500GB/month just providing the html pages of the website.. so there's a lot of traffic there... We'll figure this out on our own, don't worry about it. There's always a solution! :)
