What is Disk Space and Bandwidth?

 
 

Bandwidth is simply the amount of traffic in and out of your Web site that is allowed in a specific period of time (usually 1 month).  Without exception, bandwidth is the most costly expense for a Web Hosting Provider, and therefore must be regulated. Many illegitimate Hosting Providers offer unusually high or "unlimited" bandwidth limits.  This type of scam is a marketing gimmick intended to fool the un-informed consumer.

Disk space is the amount of storage space available for your Web site, email and FTP data on a Web Server. Each page of your Web site consumes part of this space. A single letter, for example the letter 'A' is equal to on Byte of space. A Megabyte is roughly 1 million Bytes, or 1 million single characters. This text you are reading is about 3 KB, or 3000 Bytes, or about 1/3 of a Megabyte. The sum of all of your Web pages, email, and FTP data makes up the total amount of Disk Space your site consumes.

We offer very real and managable Disk Space and Bandwidth limits for our Web Hosting Packages.  Most of our clients never reach their monthly Bandwidth or Disk Space limits, only using a fraction of what is allocated to their domain, but if needed can use the entire allocated amount without worrying about hidden clauses in our Hosting Agreement.
