For a webmaster, bandwidth is the measurement of data that is sent from your web host’s server down to the visitors computer.

If you have a lot of visitors and they all download large files from you, then you will need a great amount of bandwidth.

Many webmasters do not plan for the future and inadvertently have their web sites shut down in the middle of the month because their web site was much more popular than they ever expected.

To preven this from happening to you, carefully measure your bandwidth usage and plan ahead!

Bandwidth exceeds for an hosting account due to the following reasons:

1.  HTTP

2.  FTP

3.  IMAP

4.  SMTP

5.  POP3
