  • Bandwidth in Web Hosting

    Hi all,

    There are various features that different hosting companies provide. many of the terms are self explanatory like Disk Space, Add on Domains, Ram and CPU. However, I am not clear what the Bandwidth mean. Some also call it "Monthly Traffic". So, what does it mean in general and whats the difference between unmetered, unlimited and 500GB?

    Bandwidth is the amount of data that goes in and out of your server. You can also call it as the data carrying capacity wherin maximum amount of data can pass from one point to another in a given period of time. Secondly, the term unlimited is only a marketing strategy. There is nothing called as unlimited. So, choose for unmetered bandwidth where your bandwidth is not measured or counted. An initial limit is given which when exceeded will be upgraded.
