What does Disk Space and Data Transfer mean? Print

  • 1

Diskspace is the size your website can be. Every single letter on your website has to be stored somewhere on your web host's server. Each letter is one byte, and a megabyte is roughly one million bytes. HTML pages are usually very small, but it is the extra images, scripts, and even databases that can take up large amounts of disk space.

Bandwidth/Transfer is the amount of data the server will allow your site to send in a month. Transfer is usually measured in gigabytes - billions of bytes. Once you go over your monthly limit, a host may either shut your site down for the remainder of the month or it can charge you 'overage.' 

Aztech Networks does not charge excess usage if you exceed your disk or transfer quota, but instead offers you the option to upgrade to bigger plan to suit your requirements.
