Short answer: Every server has limits, so we list the numbers for each plan up front. Our plans include 1 TB of bandwidth on Starter, 3 TB on Simple and 8 TB on Business, all fair use. If your site needs more room, ask us and we will move you to a bigger plan at its listed price.
What uses bandwidth? Each time someone views a page, everything on it (HTML, text, images and other files) is sent from the server to the visitor’s browser. Your monthly transfer depends on three things:
- How many visitors you get
- How big your pages are
- The types of files on your site (images, audio and video use the most)
How to estimate it: page size x page views per day x 30 days = monthly transfer.
Example: 10 KB of text plus 60 KB of images is a 70 KB page. 60 visitors who each view 4 pages a day is 240 views a day. 70 KB x 240 x 30 = 504,000 KB, or about 504 MB a month.
Units
- 1 kilobyte (KB) is about 1,000 bytes.
- 1 megabyte (MB) is about 1,000 KB.
- 1 gigabyte (GB) is about 1,000 MB.
- 1 terabyte (TB) is about 1,000 GB.
- A byte is 8 bits. A bit is the smallest unit of data, a 0 or a 1.
