Monthly Traffic

All Packages have an amount of included traffic per month, but what is traffic and why is there a limit placed on it?

· Generous levels of Internet activity included in monthly packages.

· Includes an accessible tariff and competitive overuse charges.

Traffic and bandwidth can be compared to pipes and the water that flows in them. Traffic corresponds to the water and bandwidth to the width of the pipe, therefore wider pipes equal more bandwidth.

Google experts define Web traffic as:

“the amount of data sent and received by visitors to a website. This is determined by the number of visitors and the content of pages they visit...."
 

Every time an Internet user views a page on your website the content, including HTML, images and other components, are downloaded to the user's computer. This download of components of web pages to a visitor's computer contributes toward the outgoing web traffic of the web server.

To ensure each customer uses a fair amount of traffic, a number of our packages have a monthly traffic quota. This quota is dependant on package type and ranges from large allowances for professional package users to entry level packages with more modest limits, ideal for hobby sites, which generate less traffic.

What happens if I exceed my Monthly Traffic Allowance?

Our Hosting Packages come with a very generous monthly traffic allowance and it is highly unlikely you will exceed your limit. However, you can set an alert in your Control Panel if you are approaching your limit, allowing you to take action.

In the unlikely event your monthly traffic allowance is exceeded we do not stop any further traffic usage. Instead, we charge customers a highly competitive standard rate of 99p per Gigabyte of additional traffic used, one of the cheapest in the UK.
