Data transfer refers to the amount of bandwidth your site uses up in order to display your web pages to the world. Everytime someone visits your website, pages and images are transfered from our servers to your clients’ computer. This transfering of data costs money. The amount of data transfer determines how much traffic can visit your site. If you anticipate lots of traffic to your website, you would need to consider adding more data transfer to your package. Disk space on the other hand refers to the amount of storage you have available on our server to store your pages, images, mp3 files, etc… Keep in mind that email accounts will also take up some of your storage space.
