I just registered a domain name on godaddy and want to buy a hosting there, but there are three types of them, 10G, 150G and unlimited, i don't know which one to buy.
I'm going to build a forum website, about book & movies reviews, since i'm totally a newbie in this career, so i don't wheter it works or not. So cut off those unstable elements, let's see, if i can got 200 UV per day, how big should the hosting should be? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

first are u speaking of bandwidth or storage space
I think u can go for lower end because u can only access ur situation when the site is live. Then u can choose to upgrade ur version. That exactly what i did. I am excited about forum u are going to make.
I am strong believer forum can attract traffic to your product/service page or affiliate page and a very good tool to get to know who is your audience.

Forums depend on Bandwidth. I think you should high bandwidth server for your forums managing.

I don't like godaddy web hosting services. Better you check plans of register.com

think the 150G is better.
Because the rate of capacity it will soon run.

Hello there, this is my first post so I hope this will help you to make the right decision. Since you have mentioned this will be new forum, you probably won't need much disk space. In my opinion 10GB offered by the first plan should suffice. Almost every web software I've used(including forums) do not use much disk space at all. The bandwith consumtion should not not be an issue as well. It is ttrue that most forums use alot of bandwith, however 200 unique visiotors will hardly consume any traffic at all. I'd say you should go for the lowest shared hosting plan. In future, when your forum grows you can always upgrade to the higher plan!

You don't a large space initially . Start with less hosting and when your forum and sites start getting traffic in large amount then you can hosting with large space.

i think you should go for unlimited in long term perspective

You should choose unlimited it is always a good option.

I think you need unlimited bandwidth and unlimited space.

I think vivionso and seo corporation is right. Go for less first then you can upgrade it.

There is no such thing as unlimited space and bandwidth.

The unlimited bandwidth I see a lot, but what they're not telling you is that it is based on "average usage". Read the hosting providers policy before buying. Personally, it's false advertising, because it is anything but unlimited.

Godaddy does not provide Cpanel - which is easy tool to handle your hosting space
