How Does Bandwidth Tie in with Web Hosting
Bandwidth and data transfer are two terms you may frequently come across in web hosting.These two terms are closely related, but have different meanings.
When you talk about bandwidth, it is the amount of data that can be transferred at a time.On the contrary, the amount of data that is transferred is referred to as data transfer.Web hosting companies however use the term bandwidth to advertise how much of data they let you transfer in a month.
While comparing the plans of various web hosting companies, you will find some of them measuring the amount of bandwidth you can use in their plans.It is the number of gigabytes that the company will offer you in a month that is displayed in this amount.So if a company offers you 5 GB per month, the amount of data transfer that takes place in your site should not exceed 5 GB.
‘Unlimited bandwidth’ is a term most web hosting companies use to lure their customers.However you usually find many rules leading to limitations of their bandwidth after you go through the terms and conditions of the company.
One such rule of most web hosting companies is the provision of unlimited bandwidth to you only with acceptable usage. You later find that this ‘acceptable usage’ is the usage of less than an arbitrary amount of bandwidth every month.Once you exceed this limit, you have to pay a surcharge.
Sometimes there are web hosting companies that have restrictions on the type of site you offer.There are some web hosting companies that have limitations on the number of pages you can use on your site and some that don’t let you use graphics or heavy pages on the site.It is always better to use these plans only if you are confident you can stick to these restrictions for not only the present, but also for the future.
