Important note about bandwidth/ traffic: One thing most people do not take into consideration is bandwidth when they purchase web hosting. Explanation of bandwidth: If
you have a popular web site this is what is going to cost you the
most. Bandwidth deals with the amount of traffic that you get on
your web site. It is measured by the amount of things that are
loaded or downloaded from your site. This includes, the amount of
mail that is sent through or received through the mail server,
file transfers such as uploading your web pages and
graphics to the site site or if you have files that are to
be downloaded. For instance let's say your home page has 5
navigation buttons, one photo and the page that the text and
graphics are embedded in. Let's say that the entire page takes up
40kb of space. That would mean that every time someone goes to
your website and looks at that page 40kb of bandwidth is used. The
more graphic intense your pages are the more bandwidth is used. The average website uses about 2gigs of bandwidth a month. Plexus Domain Hosting plans come with 8 GIGs and 10 Gigs of bandwidth per month which should be more than enough. |
