Placed in Web Hosting Guide | February 10th, 2009
Bandwidth explains:
Bandwidth is the amount of data transmitted, you are entitled to a package of accommodation, ie Suppose you have a Web page, 48KB is high now, each time a user opens your website, and on that page S / he downloads 48 KB of information on your computer. 100 If a user believes that the page each time then there were a total of 4800 KB of data from the server where your files are stored for computer users.
Size of the web page: 48 KB
Number of users that the Web page: 100
Total data sent: 48KB * 100 = 4800 KB
Bandwidth is the term that is used to the amount of data was transferred from your Web space.
The amount of bandwidth that you have when selecting a host depends on two factors:
> The size of your website.
> The popularity of your website.
If your site is not very big, and you do not have any audio / video downloads and it is not very popular ie not many people visit your site but not really lots of bandwidth, averaged a Web page using up only 500 MB of bandwidth per month. Or if your site is small, but very popular, you may need to go a Web hosting package that provides high bandwidth.
On the other hand, if your site is huge, audio / video downloads, but also very popular and would probably have a huge amount of bandwidth. For example, you have a video file, which is 150 MB and a single day of 100 visitors download the file. This means that 15 GB of bandwidth were used. If you multiply by 30 days of the month, he comes to 450 GB
The unlimited bandwidth controversy
For some time now, a quantity of hosting companies are supposedly the “unlimited bandwidth for its Web hosting packages.
It is quite properly, you can have unlimited bandwidth. However, you need unlimited money from your site! Apart from jokes, if you already have a host, it would be the best return, then again, as you came from.
Do you think if you unlimited bandwidth for $ 25-30 per month, why are not big companies like Sun, Microsoft, etc is not there? Indeed, why not everyone is there? For that matter, if Unlimited is a standard feature, why not all hosts provide? Is it because it is expensive and requires better hardware? No, this is because some hosts are honest and do not give in such tricks.
Statistically, a T1 Internet connection (huge broadband) equals approximately 500GB per month and costs about $ 1,200 a month. So how can it be possible for the same or unlimited for $ 30 per month?
There are many possibilities, be fooled by these “unlimited” hosts; here are only some of them:
The secret of ‘unlimited’ is buried in the general conditions of the host. Do not be surprised to find that unlimited = 15 GB.
The host can be the type of files you have on your host server. In general, photo galleries and audio / video files to win many more downloads that more bandwidth. So if there is no such files, your site is really not a lot of bandwidth.
Some guests recently opened, use it as a swindler. You take your money and after a few months, when the server starts too slowly, or has reached its limit because they operate? with your money!
Some hosts outline in its terms, you have unlimited bandwidth as long as you qualify for it. That is to say your Web site must use less, say 2 GB of bandwidth to create the conditions for the function of unlimited bandwidth. Once your site goes beyond this limit, or to start collecting or cut your downloads in total.
In life, it is a universal truth that you get what you pay, and it is not different for web hosting.
If a host has an advertising budget as Gimmick ‘unlimited’ bandwidth may be on some other things too. “Their” support team may be one person (the hoster itself in most cases) are sitting at a computer and take your calls.
Do you really want the unlimited bandwidth hosting guest on very limited resources available? Or do you want to host, has spent thousands of dollars on setting up a good network infrastructure, server and a high level of commitment and the support team? It’s your choice and ultimately yourself.
