What speed download is needed for web hosting?

Like, what download speed would offer a loading speed of one or less than one second

For start its not downloading its uploading.

You can calculate the time once you know the size of the webpage.

Most people do not host websites on their own computers due to the need for it to be on all the time and if the page were very popular then a home internet connection is not going to cut it.

This is why web hosting services exist, people who know what they are doing have entire rooms full of servers connected to massive internet pipelines and then a large amount of different people can all pay a tiny fraction of the cost to access this sort of technology through their subscription.

Not everything in life is a rip off and this is most certainly something where you are better off paying for a professional service if you have an established or important site which needs to be up and fast 24/7, if it doesn't then it also doesn't matter what the system (or its pipeline) is that you are hosting on.

Thank you! I'm not actually going to host a website, it's for an assignment.
I need to choose an internet provider for a fictitious small business company that hosts a website. So I was trying to find out which upload/download speed a website needs, roughly 😅
