Bandwidth / Data Transfer

Bandwidth or data transfer is the measure of the traffic generated from your website. It is measured in bytes, kilo bytes (KB), mega bytes (MB) or giga bytes (GB).

Some web hosts claim that they offer unlimited or unmetered bandwidth. Bandwidth and traffic cost money and tie up server resources, so if any host truly offered unlimited bandwidth at any price they would not be in business for very long. If you read their Terms of Service, you will find the following language or something similar:

"If at any time the Customerā€™s website generates enough bandwidth usage to affect the performance of other customer sites on the server, we reserve the full right to terminate the Customerā€™s domain name without refund."
