Transfer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a typical web hosting account, an entire website (with all of its files, databases and images) comprises that website\u2019s space (storage). If a website\u2019s hosted plan allows 50GB in storage, and that site\u2019s content takes up 2GB, then there is 48GB of storage left. If that same plan allows 200GB of&nbsp;data transfer&nbsp;per month, when you upload the site, the host subtracts that 2GB transfer leaving 198GB remaining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obliviously, the more popular that site becomes, the more bandwidth it uses. Here\u2019s the problem. More and more audio and video files are being placed on websites drawing thousands of visitors. A two-minute video can easily consume 10MB of transfer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some\nhosts feature straight data fees. If you use 10MB, you pay for 10MB. If you use\n20GB, you pay for 20GB.&nbsp; Typical bandwidth plans are based on metered,\nunmetered, burstable and 95th percentile billing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmetered_Bandwidth\"><\/span>Unmetered Bandwidth&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unmetered\nbandwidth means that the maximum data transfer rate is capped at a specific\nspeed, but the amount of data transfer at that speed is unlimited. The cost for\nunmetered bandwidth is normally based on a fixed monthly charge for bandwidth\nconsumption payable at the beginning of a monthly cycle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"There_are_dedicated_and_shared_unmetered_bandwidth_plans\"><\/span>There are dedicated and shared unmetered bandwidth plans.&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dedicated\nor guaranteed unmetered plans offer bandwidth pipes available to you and you\nonly, that you can max out at will. Some hosts offer burst options for overages\non a 95<sup>th <\/sup>percentile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shared\nunmetered plans means the host shares your pipe with other customers. These\ntypes of plans typically provide a guaranteed minimum but not a guaranteed\nmaximum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten (10Mbps) equates to about 3.3 Terabytes of bandwidth and 100Mbps to about 33.3 Terabytes. It goes without saying that a 100Mbps unmetered dedicated plan is quite a bit more expensive than a shared plan. The shared plan is less expensive, but your server is connected with other servers (2-6) at a switch that is normally connected to a 100Mbps switch port, or in some cases with other servers (10-20) connected to a 1Gbps port.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metered_plans\"><\/span>Metered plans&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nexpense for metered bandwidth is calculated at the end of each monthly billing\ncycle. Metered essentially means your bandwidth usage is monitored and you\u2019re\nresponsible for any overages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small\nservers with low bandwidth usage are normally billed at a straight data\ntransfer rate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measuring_on_the_95th_Percentile\"><\/span>Measuring on the 95<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Percentile&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another bandwidth plan uses the 95<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;percentile method for computing bandwidth expense. For example, a 100Mbps plan billed at the 95<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;relates to 100Mbps unmetered but the connection itself may be capable of 1000Mbps. This enables your server to reach speeds up to 1000Mbps (burstable). At the end of the monthly billing cycle, the top 5% of the speeds are removed, then the 100Mbps is subtracted, leaving any overages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost RAID Server Solutions\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\"><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
