size of web??

P

Pam

I'm trying to figure out how 'big' a website is - my server says that its at
its limit - 25meg...but I can not see how this site can be anywhere near 25
meg...is there a way in fp 2003 to determine the size of a website?

Pam,

Open your website in FrontPage, right-click on the top folder (the root -
usually says something like "C:\mywebsite" or http://localhost/) of the web
and choose "Properties." In FP2002 (I don't have 2003 handy at the moment)
the size is listed in KB, not MB. If you have to do the math, Google makes
it easy. Go to the Google home page and type in this for a search value
(substituting your site's size for ###):

convert ### KB to MB

Google will give you the size in MB.

In addition to your files (.htm, .jpg, etc.) FrontPage creates additional
files it uses to help manage your site. These are the files that are in the
_vti_bin folders. Some hosts count this towards your webspace, others
don't. If, after checking the site's size following the steps above, you
think you're well under the 25MB limit, you can check your total file size
in Windows Explorer by finding your directory (e.g. c:\mywebsites) and
checking the properties on it. This will give you the total file size of
your web on your local computer. Note that the _vti_bin folders are
actually different between your computer and the server, but they should be
close enough for you to get a good idea of what's going on.

Pam,

Most hosts have a control panel or owners menu that you log
into and it will show the usage. Contact your hosting company.
I have one site that the host's menu shows that I have used
37 MB. I opened Windows Explorer, navigated to the web
folder, right click and chose Properties. The size on disk
was 62 MB? It is possible the server compresses files
pending a call from a browser...

In addition to Jack's post, are there any web log files to consider? Some
hosts place the log files in your web space, others count the size towards
your space allocation even though they are stored outside the web. Web log
files can add up to a number of megabytes.

Excellent suggestion. I'll bet a Krispy Kreme that's the problem.

And a belated "Welcome Aboard!" Ron. :)

A donut that American's go crazy for.

Personally, I prefer the local bakery just down the street from my office.
The donuts are tasty and, if you believe the baker, they're fat and calorie
free, too. ;)
