Too often we talk about bandwidth and data transfer in the same breath but truth be known they are different although very closely related. Bandwidth is how much data can be transferred at a time and data transfer is how much data is being transferred.
Think of it this way. If bandwidth were a bridge, then the bigger the bridge is the more vehicles can pass through it. While data transfer is the number of vehicles allowed on the bridge in say a month. In essence, data transfer is the consumption of bandwidth.
How It Usually Affects Your Site
In basic term the less bandwidth you have, the slower your site takes to load regardless of the visitor’s connection type. If you have more visitors, some of them will have to wait their turn. The least data transfer you have, the more often you’ll find your site unavailable because you’re reached the maximum allowed until a new month rolls by or you upgrade your account.
That is why we provide additional bandwidth package to lessen the hassle of our client and make sure their sites are running okay by providing them bandwidth as addon if a month yet not finished.
To see the unlimited or additional bandwidth feature just browse any of our hosting packages page and you can see an anchor link named Need Unlimited?; from which you can see the detail.
