When choosing a web host, you come across many options. One of those is called ‘Bandwidth’. Some hosts offer unlimited bandwidth, while others have a cap on it. Now the question is, what is it? The answer is very simple, bandwidth is the amount of data transferred from your server each month. For example, say that each page of your website is 100 KiloBytes (KBs) and that each month 1,000 webpages are viewed, then you consume 100 * 1000 KiloBytes = 100 MBs (MegaBytes).

The bandwidth you use includes everything from web pages to images hosted on your server. So choose your hosting service very carefully. If you are expecting to have a huge traffic on your website, then go with an unlimited or unmetered bandwidth providers. Because once you cross your limit, most hosts just take your website down for the rest of the month, or ask ridiculous amounts of money for over-usage.

Some of the best web-hosts are listed below. These all have unlimited bandwidth:

www.hostgator.com
www.bluehost.com
www.justhost.com
www.webhostingpad.com

A domain name is the unique web-address that you get for your website. For example, ‘google.com’ is domain name. In order to have a web presence, you need to have a domain name. The domain name can be your business’s name or general name. For example a store selling shoes can have ‘cheapshoes.com’. But the problem is that .com, .net and .org registrations started in early 1990s and most of the good domain names have already been taken. So act fast, and claim your domain name before it is registered by someone else.
