> in webhosting, the data about disc-space and bandwidth, are in GigaBITS, correct?

As Qube said, bandwidth, etc. is supposed to be measured in Gigabytes. And as Gabriel says, Gb is Gigabits so if a host says "Bandwidth = 500 Gb", and not GB you should contact them to make sure it's Gigabytes.

> How much bandwidth do you think is ok?

As a general guide, I got this from Netfirms Plus, Advantage and Business hosting plans.

- 500 GB data transfer for light to moderate visitor traffic.
- 2,000 GB data transfer for a busy website.
- 3,000 GB data transfer for busy websites with multimedia.

So 500 GB should be ok, but in case you do exceed that you should go with a host that lets you upgrade to a better bandwidth.

OT: I thought you'd given up with Tecno. Really great job on finishing it!
