Unlimited Bandwidth

[Server Hosting]

When someone access a website, download or upload something, watch a video on internet, there is a traffic of information incoming and outgoing between the PC and the web interface (or web application). These information are quantified with bytes (kilo-bytes, mega-bytes,...).

All these bytes needs a bridge to connect between the 2 entities. This bridge is called the Bandwidth.
A Bandwidth allows these bytes to travel between the 2 entities. But this bridge has limits. The accumulation of information could not exceed the bandwidth. If you have a traffic of 200Mbps (mega-bytes per second), the bandwidth must be equal or greater than the quantity of transmitted information. Otherwise, the connection will be interrupted.

Most Hosting providers (http://uk.wcloudhosting.com/web-hosting) will propose a limited Bandwidth. For example, they will propose 50GB of monthly bandwidth. That means that you cannot exceed a 50 giga-bytes of information incoming and outgoing from your server.

That pretty much sums it up.

Although some companies provide unlimited bandwidth, it actually depends on the number of users who are in that same category of the shared hosting. In short, the more users, the less bandwidth it is able to transmit. So, some companies suggests hosting packages with limitation so that users can use up the fixed amount of bandwidth without any interference. Basically, its similar to a what-you-get for what-you've-paid.

Unlimited is a marketing trick to get your business. If you intend to have a lot of visitors to your site, lots of downloads, including audio or video files, do not choose an unlimited plan hoping to get unrestricted bandwidth. You will find yourself with problems. Your web host is not going to run at a loss for long - they could shut down your website or even charge you extra (read the terms of service).

Unlimited bandwidth means unlimited download and unlimited upload without having worry about extra bill amount. No limited data package .
