What is bandwidth / data transfer?
A. Data transfer (or bandwidth) is basically the amount of data transferred through your account. If for example you have a page on your website that takes up 1Mb of disk space and 10 people view it, you would have transferred 10Mb of data through your account. The same goes for e-mail and FTP transfers – if 5 people e-mail you a 1Mb attachment then you would have transferred another 5Mb through your account or if you upload 30Mb of files to your site you would have added another 30mb to your monthly data transfer amount. We basically log all data that is transferred in conjunction with your account as we have to pay for data transfer charges ourselves.
Bandwidth / Data Transfer is the amount of data the server will allow your site to send in a month. This refers to how much traffic and activity your site has as well as how many content authors are connecting to the server via the Workarea. Once you go over your monthly limit, you will be charged an overage, which is the same rate as purchasing additional bandwidth ($2 per GB per month).
