Unlimited Webpage Data Transfer & Hits
Bandwidth deals with and describes the amount of data the server has to send out in a
given period of time. When a visitor views one of your pages, the server must send
all of the page information to that users web browser; this includes all the images,
the sound files, the html page files, counter information, multi-media content and/or
whatever else comprises your website.
This all boils down to taking up the servers valuable time.. and.. using up
the amount of bandwidth the server actually has.
Think of it this way..
The server is connected to the internet via a pipe.. that pipe.. has a fixed diameter
and can therefore move only so much data. Likewise, your computer is also connected via
a pipe, albeit, a much smaller one. Each of those two pipes can only move so much data
through them. That limit.. is the bandwidth.
Many companies limit your traffic by limiting your bandwidth and even charge
you more when you exceed this limit, IDC does not do this.
