What is a data transfer (bandwidth) limit?

We impose a limit on the amount of traffic at each of our customer's hosting accounts so that we can maintain fast and reliable delivery of your files to your viewers. If there were no limits, then an over-active high-traffic web site could slow down access for our other clients on the server. All files (web pages, text, images) accessed by people browsing your web site constitutes web site traffic, also known as data transfer. For example, every time a web page, image, audio or video file, e-mail, etc., is loaded or transferred from or to a server, a data transfer occurs.


All hosting plans include a monthly limit for the amount of web site traffic, also known as a bandwidth quota. This quota is rarely reached unless you have large files that are downloaded frequently or pages in your web site that are tremendously popular and are viewed by thousands of people.
