Unlimited Traffic and Monthly Bandwidth Management

Procédure

To better understand how LWS shared web hosting works, it is crucial to consider the following elements.

Unlimited Bandwidth

LWS shared web hosting offers users access to unlimited band width in terms of data quantity. In other words, your website can theoretically attract as many visitors and generate as many data transfers as needed, without strict limitations on the amount of traffic allowed.

Bandwidth Management Policy

However, to ensure a quality experience for all users sharing the same server, as well as to prevent abuse or hosting of illegal sites, LWS has implemented a bandwidth management policy. This policy consists of defining a monthly data traffic quota for each website hosted.

Temporary reduction in bandwidth

When your site reaches this monthly data transfer quota (usually expressed in gigabytes, noted as "XX GB" in your description), its bandwidth is temporarily reduced to 10 Megabits per second (Mbs). This measure is designed to encourage users to manage their traffic responsibly.

Return to Optimal Bandwidth

Once the calendar month has passed and your monthly data transfer quota is reset, your site will once again benefit from an optimal bandwidth of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbs), which means that your site will be able to handle more traffic at higher speeds.

Bandwidth graph

To view the bandwidth used for your LWS-hosted website, you can follow these simple steps. First, log in to your customer area. Next, access the administration of the site or domain concerned. You should find a section dedicated to resources, which may include information on CPU, RAM, and network. Click on the 'Network Transfer' tab to access bandwidth usage data. This section will allow you to closely monitor your bandwidth usage and take appropriate action if necessary to manage your traffic efficiently.

Quota Modification Options

In conclusion, if you are experiencing a bandwidth limitation problem for your website and this is affecting your user experience, you have the option of changing your package from your customer area. This allows you to increase your monthly data transfer quota and obtain higher bandwidth to meet your specific needs.
