Viewing Bandwidth Usage
Bandwidth is the capacity of a network or computer to handle or carry a certain amount of data. Bandwidth transfer is usually measured in gigabytes (GB) of data transferred during a specified time interval.
Bandwidth monitoring is the ability to view information about the bandwidth your site uses for the Web Hosting service during a specified period of time. This includes bandwidth for Web service and FTP traffic.
To view bandwidth information:
- Go to the Bandwidth Usage page:
- On the left navigation panel, in the Server section, click Services.
- Select the time period for which you want to view the Bandwidth usage.
- The Bandwidth Usage area displays the following information:
- Total usage: Represents the total amount of data transferred to and from the site.
- Usage per service: Represents the percentages of FTP and Web traffic on the site in the form of a pie-chart.
- Usage distribution: Represents the bandwidth usage (in bytes) of the site in the form of a bar graph.
