Bandwidth is amount of data transferred to and from a webhosting account. The most common examples of data transfer are:
- Files and images being requested by your visitor's web browsers.
- Files transferred to and from your domain using an FTP program.
- Email messages received and sent from your domain.

Bandwidth is renewed monthly and monitored every 24 hours. Our hosting accounts provide a very generous amount of bandwidth for your domains... more than most web hosts provide for the same size accounts!

In short, it's how much data can be sent/received through your connection. Limitations are set by your provider or your network to make sure that there is enough for all on the network, prevents 1 person from using all there is for streaming porn when others are actually working, etc....
