Ok this is probably a supremely stupid question and the answer is probably going to be "how long is a piece of string?" but...

How many Mb would a reasonably simple website take up? we're talking a homepage and maybe 4 or 5 sub pages.

My ISP gives me 100Mb of free hosting and wondered if that will be enough? I fancy learning the basics and have no idea if this is ok.
 
Hi

100mb should be more than enough. Web pages are made up from HTML pages which are just 'fancy' text document so each page will only be a matter of kilobytes.

You will run into trouble if you start adding to many images to your site, especially if you store them on the same server. If you store the images else where then the only limit to the number of images would be the space you have on the server.

Hope this help

Cool, thanks Rich :)

I'm just googling now to find out the basics of HTML, I'm guessing that's the best thing to start with then move on to stuff like php etc?

Cool, looks good, how long did it take you to get to an ability level where you're able to do that? although I understand that if you just absorbed the information over time that'll be a bit difficult to quantify ;)

The only "computer" language I know is SQL so it's always handy to add another tool to my box.
 
All depends on the graphics, but a straight-forward 6-page site without huge pictures could be less than 1mb in size. 100mb is more than enough.
