The monthly traffic characteristic, that is sometimes also called bandwidth or data transfer, indicates the full amount of data which is uploaded to your shared website hosting account and downloaded from it monthly. The traffic is produced mainly by web site visits - when someone visits your web site, the webpages they see are downloaded from the hosting server to his or her computer or smartphone and they are shown by the web browser. What counts for the web site traffic produced is the size of these pages, thus the more site visitors you get for some period of time, the more web site traffic will be produced. In addition to the site visits, file uploads are also counted towards the total monthly transfer this means that if you upload web site content or any other files with a file manager or an FTP application, they'll also produce some website traffic. The counter resets on the very first day of every month and it's not related to the date you've signed up or the date you have renewed the web hosting plan.
Monthly Traffic in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting plans are designed with the idea to take care of the traffic made by any kind of web site that can function in such an account. In case you own one or a few different small or medium-sized websites, you'll not be limited by the monthly site traffic allowance whatever the content you have - plain text or perhaps plenty of images, for example. The stats in your hosting Control Panel will give you detailed details about the traffic produced by each site and the amount for the account as a whole. The stats are updated in real time and show both the daily and the monthly usage, so you will know how much info is transferred to and from the hosting account at any time. The very first day of every month your counter is reset, but you'll still be able to view the website traffic stats for the past months, which will give you an idea how your sites perform.
Monthly Traffic in Semi-dedicated Servers
Since our semi-dedicated plans are pretty powerful, we have made the decision not to put any type of limit for the monthly web site traffic that a given account can produce. We believe that if you obtain a web hosting plan that features a lot of processing power, your sites will presumptively have numerous visitors and given that every single visitor makes a part of the website traffic, you may end up getting inaccessible websites if there was a cap for this feature. With truly unrestricted website traffic, you will be sure this can never happen. For your benefit, you can keep track of the data being downloaded along with the web site traffic that is generated for each domain with monthly, daily and hourly stats that will give you an idea how popular your websites are. You will be able to even see the web pages and files which have generated most of the website traffic in your semi-dedicated account.
Monthly Traffic in VPS Servers
The VPS hosting plans that we offer feature a monthly traffic allowance proportional to the system resources they come with. The more hard disk storage space and processing power a server has, the more probable it is you will host more sites on it, consequently the website traffic you can use will increase with each and every package. In case you need additional traffic at some time, you can update the plan via your billing Control Panel with just a couple of clicks and the extra resources, including the greater traffic allowance, will be added to your account. You'll also be able to check how much info has been transferred to and from your virtual server all the time. For your benefit, we'll notify you as soon as you reach 90% of the quota in order to provide you with enough time to react and decrease your site traffic or upgrade your package if necessary. Via your control panel, you will be able to view the traffic statistics for every single domain or subdomain in your VPS account.
Monthly Traffic in Dedicated Servers
Considering how powerful our dedicated web hosting plans are, the data transfer that you will get each month will be sufficient for any type of site irrespective of the number of its visitors, even if you offer file or image hosting. You'll receive a quota of terabytes of website traffic each and every month and given that you won't share the server with anybody else, that quota will be accessible only for your web sites and web applications. We will let you know as soon as you reach 90% of the quota which means that you'll be able to react and either optimize your websites to lessen the website traffic they generate, or increase the limit. It is extremely unlikely that you may ever need more than what we will provide you with, however we won't restrict the growth of your websites, that's why we leave the chance to add additional website traffic open. The dedicated server packages come with a management panel where you can see what amount of site traffic has been produced so far for the present month and what amount is left until you get to the limit. Considering that these figures feature software installations as well as all updates, they are more accurate than numerous hosting Control Panel stats which include only the site traffic generated by sites.
