Most of you have probably heard that the amount of affordable website hosting bandwidth usage or data transfer allocated with a affordable website hosting plan is an important aspect to consider, but what exactly is it?

To begin let's clarify a common misconception. Many people, some affordable website hosting companies included, incorrectly use the terms bandwidth and data transfer interchangeably. While similar, these are actually two different things.

The term bandwidth refers to how much data can be moved at one time from an affordable website hosting server out onto a network and across the Internet. You can think of affordable website hosting bandwidth as the diameter of a water pipe. The bigger the diameter of the pipe, the more water you can move, even if the water is moving at the same speed.

Data transfer (AKA bandwidth usage) refers to how much data/information is sent to or received from your affordable website hosting account on the affordable website hosting server over a specified period of time. In most cases data transfer is measured monthly, although it can be measured daily in high volume situations. Looking back to the affordable website hosting analogy we used before, data transfer would be the measure of how much water has actually flowed through our pipe over a given period of time.

Every time someone views your web page on your affordable website hosting server all of the data (html code, text, graphics, etc.) incorporated within the page must be transferred from the affordable website hosting web server, across the Internet, and onto the visitor's computer where it is viewed via a web browser. As a result, the amount of data transfer an affordable website hosting customer uses is directly related to the number of visitors to their site, multiplied by the size of their web pages, including any graphics displayed within.

It is important to note that most affordable website hosting companies will also include e-mail and FTP transfers towards your monthly affordable website hosting data transfer totals. As a result, if you plan on maintaining a mailing list or allowing your visitors to download large files via FTP (such as graphics or software) you should plan accordingly when attempting to judge your monthly level of data transfer.
