Question about internet connection

[relix]

I was looking at a couple of sites to get a general price for 10mbps connection in USA. What does it usually cost?

Also, is 10mbps enough to run a small website? How does mbps work?

Was just wondering and would be thankful if someone could help me out.

How about waitimg longer...

10mbps is enough to run ONE small website.

define small website?

a 10mbps line is about 3.2TB of bandwidth..

Are you looking at a server with a 10MB?

If it's one 'small website' then a basic shared hosting account is all you need.

Are you looking for shared hosting? If yes I think it will be realy difficult to find.

I am not looking for a hosting account but am asking a connection about internet connection.

A 10mbps line means its 10 megabits per second but is that fast enough to run a website with a forum and some other things?

Many hosts here have 10mbps line with 100mbps port. I am just asking about general information related to internet connection and price.

(i dont wanna rent a server but physically want to own the server)

Even if it's a busy site and forum a 10Mb line will be enough

are you talking tier 1 bandwidth?? because often some broadband providers dont allow remote servers just to let you know

Do 10mbps mean 10mbps down and up?

Well, in the case of a shared hosting service a 10 mbps network is more than enough to handle, however if you are looking to own your physical server then i guess it will be very hard to acess it.:angel:

If you are looking to get a 10mbps (ten mega bit per second) connection on a dedicated server, it will run 10-20 sites fine. 10mbps unmetered is about 3.3TB of tranfer.

On your question - Yes, you will be fine to use a 10mbps connection to run your site. And the normal price for that is anywhere from $38.49 to $138.49.
