I just don't think it is something they track given the 10s of millions of blogs here.

When you first start out, the database is tiny (actual file size). As you add content, it grows. This is also dependent on the number of images and media files you upload and how well you optimize them before you upload them. If you upload images right out of a camera and do not optimize them in a image editing program to reduce the file size, you might be uploading 6mb images and can eat up a lot of storage space quickly.

If you choose one of the hosts listed at http://get.wp.com/hosting/ , there won't be any problem because they all offer unlimited storage and bandwidth.

Bandwidth is another thing that is dependent. It is dependent on the number of hits you get, but it is also dependent on the number of spams you get and the number of web bots (search engines and other things) that visit your site. I've had to restrict a number of web bots in the robots.txt file because they were using way too much bandwidth (visiting the same links over and over again). There are also spam bots, and they can eat bandwidth also by trying over and over and over and over again to post spam on your posts and pages. This also depends on the number of images and media files you upload and use in your blog posts and pages.

Bottom line, there is no way to really give any sort of meaningful answer as things is too variable.

I've set up a number of sites on a hosting service that has a 750mb storage limit and they have been running for a few years now and not reached the 750mb storage limit. In fact, they aren't even close.

There are blogs hosted here that get hundreds of thousands of hits each day.

With a standard blog here you get 3GB of storage space, which is a lot of images and documents. The 5GB upgrade would give you an extra 5GB for a total of 8GB.

If you are wanting to use a lot of images, just make sure that you optimize them for the web. Since the search engines now consider total page size and page loading times when calculating search engine ranking, you want to keep things as small as possible. Also, there are still a lot of people out there on slower broadband (1.5Mbps or slower), so you have to keep them in mind as well. With the short attention span of web users now a days, they don't wait too long before clicking away and going somewhere else if a page loads too slowly.

1) Is bandwidth on wordpress.com unlimited including all the content uploaded (images, video..)?

No. see ->

2) Yes and making them "private" is a choice you can make.

3) You would benefit from reading the support documentation because the answers to the questions you ask are found in this entry http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

Videopress is $60 per blog per year. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/

Images yes, videos are per yer.

You get 3GB of space, and you can purchase 25GB of disk space at a time. http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

Which means 4 of those could mean 1TB.

Please only link to files that you have the explicit permission to distribute. Keep a copy of that permission because if/when the RIAA or other organisations demand you remove the files you can use it to argue your case. Those organisations never contact bloggers because they know we have a duty to act - which we do very quickly.

As for charges? Not from us. We have no bandwidth limits.

At the start of the year I upgraded my space so that I could host mp3 files on my blog rather than at an external file host like savefile or fileden.

A few days ago I got my internet bill for the previous month and it was huge - a few hundred dollars more than previous months. I'm wondering if the changeover to hosting mp3s on my blog instead of linking to an external file host had any effect on this? I download mp3s at home frequently, but the frequency hasn't really changed in the last couple of months - this is the only thing I can think of that I've been doing differently in the last month.

Please help!

Thanks heaps
