What is bandwidth?

Is there anything that is confusing you, or that you are unable to understand? You can clarify here.

Yes, but a very small percentage. Like .1MB I'm guessing.

Traffic is not what a user downloads or uploads. Traffic is the ammount of people access you web site. THis is judged when say you goto http://www.google.ca it loogs 1 user traffic but good gets like 5000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 user trafic hahah

Yes. If no more bandwidth. it means that the user cannot access your page.

However, what is the duration for 1GB bandwidth?
1GB for 1 second, 1 mins, 1 hours, 1 days, 1 month, or 1 year?

The duration of bandwidth is for 1 month.

So it will be 1GB/month for beginers package
3GB/month for advanced package
5GB/month for Power package

Is there anyway to calculate how much of my bandwidth a user has used? On a website before they had an error message saying that you used too much of their bandwidth in the past couple minutes so come back in about 5 minutes. If this is possible can somebody maybe tell me how I could do this with PHP?

I dont think it is possible by any way within cpanel, but i am sure you can make a custom script to do so.

Bandwidth.

The amount of people who visit your site is considered traffic. The amount of bandwidth that gets used depends on how media intense your web site is and how much traffic you get.

For instance, let's say that you are hosted by someone who tells you that your bandwidth limit is 1 GB per month. When you upload your files to your web site, that eats up some bandwidth. Then, when someone visits your site, each time the image/page is downloaded onto someone's computer, it eats up bandwidth. If you have an image on your index page that is 24 KB large, and the rest of the page is 4 KB, each time someone visits the index page, it is using up 28 KB out of your 1 GB.

Many hosts will have your page shut down temporarily (until the new billing cycle) if you use up more bandwidth then agreed upon.
