Unrestricted Visitor Bandwidth
Bandwidth (data transfer) is a measure of the amount of data transferred by your website. For example if your website is a total of 1mb and 1000 people view it in one month the bandwidth used for that month would be 1000mb (1Gb). If we cannot host your website due to high bandwidth we will refund the entire hosting fee left.*
