  Hi everyone,

  So I am averaging a few hundred views a day to my site and was wondering, how much bandwidth can the basic free wordpress site handle before I should consider purchasing my own hosting?

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There are no bandwidth limitations here. There are no storage limits re: posts and pages. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. If you need more space you can purchase a Space Upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

  Appreciate the info!

  I guess what I am asking is that people have been saying that my blog is slow to load, does that have to do with bandwidth? Or is there another problem for slow loading of free wordpress.com sites?

  Thanks again!

  I’m in Canada on a dedicated DSL line and it took me only 1 second to access your blog. Th pingdom test time is 1.98 seconds http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/qrvgKbh4D/http://monstermaestro.wordpress.com/
