Data transfer

Definition by Best Host Ratings

In context of web hosting, it is the total amount of data that has been transfered for a given period. The amount it being calculated based on the size of all files - HTML, images, video, audio, etc - that have been downloaded by the visitors of the website. Sites with rich multimedia content usually need more data transfer per month so you will most probably need to look for a web hosting plan with greater transfer limits.
