# What happens if I exceed my allocated bandwidth?

You will receive an automatic e-mail message warning you that you have reached 80% of your contracted limit, providing you time to upgrade your plan. Once you have exceeded your limit, your site will display a bandwidth exceeded message until you upgrade or your next billing cycle starts.
