Bandwidth Bandits

November 22nd, 2009

Files that are loaded to or from servers uses internet bandwidth to push files along the network at various speeds. Every time you upload a file to your ISP, surf the web or use an audio application, you are using bandwidth.?

Bandwidth is a bunch of wires or fibers connecting servers to a network. Depending on the grade of the wire it determines how much data is coming across the network where your web-site is hosted. When someone attempts to get more data than can be handled by the network, the whole network slows down.

ISP’s can put a limitation on bandwidth at certain times during peak periods or charge you a flat fee per month for bandwidth usage. If you go over the flat fee, then they charge you extra for using extra bandwidth. Some ISP’s will shut down the transmissions until traffic is more stable on the network.

You can load most files (images, sound files, videos and flash scripts and other programs) in your web site. This excludes, of course, banners and pop ups and specific documents and images which are supposed to be loaded from a central server.?
Bandwidth bandits link to images and other files directly to some other server instead of putting them on their local server. There are various reasons as to why they do this but one reason is to get as much bandwidth as possible to show their links and images.

Theres certain ways that you can stop the person from stealing your bandwidth allocation. If they have an email, I would contact them personally or go through Network Solutions and do an IP lookup which will give you information on the person and who the site is registered to. You can always get in touch with the company that hosts their site too.

Bandwidth and Your Web Host

Of the many terms used in web hosting, bandwidth and data transfer are two terms you may come across most frequently.These two terms are closely related, but have different meanings.

When you talk about bandwidth, it is the amount of data that can be transferred at a time.On the contrary, the amount of data that is transferred is referred to as data transfer.However web hosting companies have the habit of using the term bandwidth to advertise the amount of data they will let you transfer in a month.

When you go through the plans offered by web hosting companies, you will find some of them measuring the amount of bandwidth your site can use.This amount is usually displayed as the amount of gigabytes the company offers a month.So if a company offers you 5 GB per month, the amount of data transfer that takes place in your site should not exceed 5 GB.

‘Unlimited bandwidth’ is a term most web hosting companies use to lure their customers.It is however only after you read the terms and conditions of such companies that you find that there are various rules that lead to limitations in their bandwidth.

A common rule you find most web hosting companies stating is the provision of unlimited bandwidth to you on the condition that your bandwidth usage is acceptable. This usage however turns out to be less than an arbitrary amount of bandwidth every month.And the moment you cross this limit, you will have to pay a surcharge amount for your excessive consumption.

Sometimes there are web hosting companies that have restrictions on the type of site you offer.Some of  them don’t permit the use of graphics and heavy pages while some of them may  have limitations on the number of pages you can offer on your site.It is always better to use these plans only if you are confident you can stick to these restrictions for not only the present, but also for the future.
