Affect of traffic on web hosting service

The web hosting concepts revolve around many different aspects, which include reliability, customer support, add-on features, pricing, programming and installation of PHP and other popular marketing scripts. Bandwidth is one of the important features for web hosting services.
Bandwidth is the measurement of data and the speed at which it flows through the telephonic lines, cable or DSL lines to transfer information to and from any website via your computer. In relation to your website hosting, bandwidth measures the flow of data transfer, otherwise termed 'Traffic'. It is the number of hits you receive to your site; pure volume multiplied by the file sizes included on your pages.
In case, you have an all text based websites, you would be able to receive more traffic, at lower bandwidth numbers and then you would if you have a graphics intensive page, which would naturally have high file sizes, which are being transferred from your site to your visitor browser.
It depends on your host and the package you sign up for. Most hosting services set a limit on the amount of bandwidth they include with your fee per month. Depending on the nature of your site, you should be able to predict how much bandwidth you will require.
The website design site is definitely required by graphics intensive website. Most of the pages recommend the size over 24 kbs. Consider shopping for hosting package, which offers a higher maximum bandwidth allowed per month. Web hosting companies which limit the bandwidth makes an additional charge for exceeding your limits.
FYI= 1 GB = 1,024 MB
1 MB = 1,024 KB
If you have a bandwidth, the limit of 2GB, that would equal approximately the same amount of data you can store on 3 CD's.
In case, you are building you first website and have no idea for how much traffic you will generate out of the gate and it is recommended for starting with a basic web hosting package. With the growth of website in popularity and your traffic increases, you can always converse with your host about upgrading to a package with higher bandwidth limits.
A brand new websites usually take about 3-6 months of solid promotion before bandwidth becomes an issue. Make use of a host that provides in-depth statistics reports and observe your website activity regularly.
