Web hosting traffic refers to the data transfer that occurs between a website and its visitors. It represents the amount of data transmitted from a website's server to the devices accessing the website. Whenever someone visits a website, they download various files such as images, videos, HTML, CSS, and other content. Each time these files are accessed and downloaded, it adds to the web hosting traffic.
Web hosting providers typically have different hosting plans with varying levels of allocated traffic or bandwidth. The allocated traffic determines how much data can be transferred between the website and its visitors within a specific time frame, usually on a monthly basis. If the allocated traffic is exceeded, it may result in additional charges or the temporary suspension of the website.
It is important for website owners to monitor their web hosting traffic to ensure they have enough bandwidth to accommodate their visitors without interruptions.
