Answer 1)your space is how much room you have for phots. code etc. It will normally be listed as MB or GB. For a rough
idea, I just looked at a medium sized wordpress site and it takes up about 300MB. I have a game site, with
7000 flash games, and that uses about 6GB. Transfer is how much data goes in and out of your site.1 to 2 GB of
data transfer will handle most small to medium sites.

Answer 2)These are limits set by your host which restrict your use of the server you are hosting on.
Space and Bandwidth refer to the amount of megs or gigs you can use of the hard disk. Data Transfer
generally relates to the number of visitors to your site - as each time someone visits your site - you are
actually sending/transferring data to them so they can view your site and/or information.

Answer 4)Space = Hard Drive space assigned to your account, this includes the size of your scripts, images, emails, and
database space used. Our R1Soft backups do not count against your space as this is on a different server and
is a feature we provide our customers to ensure their data is safe.
Bandwidth/Data Transfer is how many gigabytes of transfer you have per month. If you have 30 gigabytes of
transfer then that means you can use that much during the month. Most accounts will not go over this with
normal forum/blog usage. If you try to host files for others to download especially large ones you could
exceed your limits, if it's just between a few family members or a gaming group then normally there's no
issue.

Answer 6)Space or Webspace - The available storage at the hosting server. Maximum space for you to upload your images,
.html etc. Like your hard disk.
Bandwidth/Data Transfer - The available rate of transfer. Transferring your content shown on your webpage
such as images, .html web pages etc, to visitors require bandwidth.
Example: You hosted your images on a server to show to your visitors. A Visitors stumbled upon your site,
and in order for the image to be seen, the server actually needs to transfer/load the images on the visitor's
screen. This rate of transfer is actually calculated.

Answer 7)Space often referred to as Disk Space, or Storage, is the amount of memory available for you to store files
on, such as your websites files. This is often represented in Gigabytes (GB).
Bandwidth or Data Transfer is the amount of memory that can be filled by your traffic downloading your
site's files as it's viewed. Having larger site files will increase the rate of consumption of bandwidth.

Answer 8)First, space is the amount of "storage" you receive from your web host. The amount of space you receive
determines how many and/or how large the files you may upload to your site that it can hold. These files can
be web pages, photos, videos, mp3's, or even compressed files such as .zip.
Bandwidth/data transfer is the amount of bits and bytes that you are allowed to have coming and going from
your website. Most web host measure this in megabytes or even gigabytes. For example: The megabyte is a
multiple of the unit byte for digital information storage or transmission with two different values depending
on the context: 1048576 bytes, generally for computer memory; and one million bytes, generally for computer
storage.

servers are physically connected at 100 Mbit/s or higher. Bandwidth quotas are commonly billed on 95% to allow

Answer 12)Space is the amount of room you are provided with on a web server for you to place your files.
A small web site will need between 10 and 100MB of disk space, a very large one can be 1000's of MB.
Expect each HTML page to take up between 5 and 100K of disk space on your web server, depending on the use
of images or other space consuming elements.
If you plan to use lots of images or graphic elements (not to mention sound files or movies), you might be
needing much more disk space.
Data transfer/Bandwidth is the amount of data you can transfer between your websites and your visitors. It
also covers the data transferred via your email accounts and FTP.
A small sized web site will consume between 1GB and 5GB of data transfer per month.
You can calculate this by multiplying your average page size with the number of expected page views per
month. If your average page size is 30K and you expect 50,000 page views per month, you will need 0.03MB x
50,000 = 1.5GB.
