What is bandwidth?
In a general sense, this term describes information-carrying capacity. It can apply to telephone or network wiring as well as system buses, radio frequency signals, and monitors. On a more human level, the term can describe a person’s capacity for dealing with multiple projects (“I’d like to update this database, but I don’t have the bandwidth.”).
Bandwidth is the amount of information (usually measured in bits-per-second) that can be sent through an Internet connection. Bandwidth is commonly compared to a water pipe – a large pipe (a high-bandwidth connection) can carry more water (information) than a small pipe (a low-bandwidth connection).
Bandwidth is the amount of data moved between your site and the browsers of the customer’s accessing your site. It is typically measured in Gigabits. [Back to top] • I want to change my account plan.

The term bandwidth denotes the amount of data that can be moved at one time from a web server out onto a network and across the Internet. You can think of bandwidth as the diameter of a water pipe. The bigger the diameter of the pipe, the more water you can move, even if the water is moving at the same speed. Data transfer (AKA bandwidth usage) refers to the amount of data
