What is bandwidth/data transfer?

Bandwidth, also called data transfer, is the amount of information transferred to or from a website or server given a prescribed period of time.  It is usually measured in bytes (megabytes, gigabytes, etc.).

Monthly bandwidth is the amount of data that is accessed on your website each time a visitor visits your website. Each time a visitor views a page, the size of the page is added to the monthly bandwidth.
