So what is the Bandwidth?
The bandwidth is simple, when you access to a website, this charges from the server and show you all the content that is called from the code in the website, content like the simple html text, some images, flash presentations, videos, audio, all that kind of stuff.
The bandwidth is the amount of bytes from any component or file stored on the server that is called by the website, this bytes are added to the bandwidth on any single hit to the website.
So when you visit a website that have some information and some images the bytes that all this information represent in size are added to the bandwidth for the website.
If you have a plan for short bandwidth and you have plenty of visits and a website where you store a lot of files like zip, exe, mpeg, mp3, etc; it’s important to search for a better plan in services for your website.
If you don’t have a heavy website with a lot of files, you don’t need a expensive plan for bandwidth, and when you hear about unlimited bandwidth, you remember this: “There is no such thing”, you can have some plans where you pay for a lot of bandwidth but there will be some restrictions like the type of files you can store and offer to your visitors.
There’s a thing called “bandwidth stealing”
What is this? This is the usage of media that you don’t store on media spaces that you’re paying, when you have a direct link to media stored on other’s clients servers, this is called bandwidth stealing because you are utilizing their bandwidth for your benefit.
If some corporation that monitors this kind of activity the website can be cancelled or reported to some authority to punish the site owner.
This Is a simple explanation for bandwidth so you have another concept when you are searching for a web host or a dedicated server.
