Know your Blogger (blogspot) blog hosting and bandwidth limits. Now many of them don’t know clearly about the blogger limit of usage, this post will explain blogger’s hosting and bandwidth limit.
Blogger hosting limits:
Blogger is a FREE hosting service from Google. You can add any number of pages (posts) to your blogspot blog, but there is a limit of images you upload in your blogger posts. Google stores all your images uploaded in your blog in picasa, which is acquired by Google recently. So there is limit of 1GB for your blogspot images other than your 7GB to 8GB storage limit of your Gmail, which is only used for mail. To see your limit just log in to Picasa webalbums with your blogger username and password. Then click on setting in upper right side and in settings click storage, you will see your limit and used bar which has maximum limit of 1GB. You can also upgrade once you have crossed the limit, price are as follows after limit -
10GB – $20/yr
40GB – $75/yr
150GB – $250/yr
400GB – $500/yr
If you are only blogging with words and not using many images in your blog, then you need not worry as your blogger hosting account is almost equal to unlimited.
Blogger Bandwidth limits:
Bandwidth limit means how many people or visitors can visit your website or blog per month. But there is no bandwidth limit for your blogger blog. Some of the FREE and even paid hosting services will limit your website or blog using bandwidth per month or even day. You have to pay extra if you exceed this limit, and in serious case your hosting account may also be suspended without notice. But thanks to Google as there is no such Bandwidth limit in Blogger blogspot blog, you can have a million visitors per day. But if you use other custom templates other than blogger default templates and have many visitors per day, your template images may not be shown due to limit of image hosting, which depends on the hosting website your template images are hosted. For example if your blogger template images are hosted on photobucket and have many users, the template images may say bandwidth exceeded upgrade account. There is a solution to this also which will be explained in this blog later.
You´re right about the unlimited bandwidth. My blog is probably the biggest in blogger, I have 50.000 unique visits per day, and it has never been down. The only problem is that I can´t use picassa album anymore, cause since I reached 30.000, the images I uploaded there no longer would load in my blog.
Really a nice info, thanks for posting this.
Really very good info. thank you very much for the useful post.
very nice info.. thanks
Very cool information. Has anyone received any notice from Google warning them their traffic is too heavy on Blogger? I would think it would be to Google’s advantage, especially if the blog is running adsense ads.
I am having problem after crossing post over 100 . I dont get list of all post in rss feed . Can anyone please tell me how to get the rss feed of all post ?
Note : my post has crossed over120 posts.
I was using a blogspot.com subdomain for my blog. I heard Bogger offers unlimited bandwidth. But I have acquired a custom domain. My account type has a bandwidth of 2 GB and a storage of 500 MB. My Blogspot post is now redirected to the new custom domain. But I worry about bandwidth issues.
1. Whose bandwidth will apply to my blog, that of unlimited Blogger, or that of my web host (2 GB)?
2. What is the implication of the 500 MB storage?
Help.
Your hosting account limits does not apply on a blogger blog. The files resides on the Google server.
