Data transfer, or bandwidth, defines the load that will be placed on the server and also has a significant bearing on the number of sites that can be hosted on that server. Thus, bandwidth is a resource consuming feature, and becomes one of the most important factors that need to be taken into consideration.

It is because of these reasons that there are limits placed on data transfer for your website. The charges for your hosting package are levied taking into consideration the data transfer requirements for your website on a monthly basis. This is advantageous to you because this way, you end up paying only for what you utilize.
