How much space does the average client on your server use for shared hosting? I'm trying to make my plans but they seem to small or to large I want some good plans. I get space cheap but I don't want it to look like I'm remotely overselling.

most hosting companies have around 200 users per server on a 1TB drive, that gives users an average of 5GB each, We limit our client limit per server based on space, so if we sell 200 5GB packs and have a 1TB drive we wouldnt have more than 200 users, (well infact you wouldnt have 1TB useable space but you get what I mean)
The average space per user is generally 300-500MB
Some will use more but others will only use a few MB so it works itself out.

I agree with this post. Because of every shared account need a lot of space.
Your looking at each client using around 100-200MB as said before.
each client is different and dependent on what the client is doing. Photo gallery, Forums and so on.
I would say max 350MB avg each client.

I refer you to research first what packages and space other companies are offering. After that you can make your Hosting plans and offer it to your Clients on reasonable prices.
The best way to go about this is to do some proper research on the plans that other webhosting companies have. That will give you an idea of how to put out your plans.
