Data transfer can be defined as the total amount of
data (in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes etc.) transferred as a result of
communication to your website
by both FTP, as well as data delivered to site visitors.
The data, in data transfer, consists of all
elements that are transferred to the browser of any person visiting your
website. Thus, all the html pages, images, audio/video content and other files
that are delivered to a visitor from your site contribute to the data transfer
for your website - every time somebody visits your site, they are taking up a
fraction of your data transfer quota. Also, all data that you upload to your
website as and when you make any addition/modification to it, also counts toward
your data transfer.
Data transfer for your web hosting package is
calculated on a monthly basis. You need to estimate your monthly data transfer
needs and specify your requirements when you are purchasing your web hosting
package. If the data transfer for your website exceeds the amount you have
specified, you would have to pay for the additional usage.
