???? Understanding Disk Space and Bandwidth

When managing your hosting account on Fast Host Nig, two key factors affect your website’s performance — Disk Space and Bandwidth. Understanding how they work helps you choose the right plan and avoid service interruptions.

???? What Is Disk Space?

Disk space refers to the total amount of storage available on your hosting account.
It’s where all your website files are stored, including:

• Website pages and scripts

• Images and videos

• Databases

• Emails and backups

For example:
If your plan includes 10GB disk space, that’s the total storage you can use for all files combined.

???? Tip: Regularly delete unused files and emails to free up space.

???? What Is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is the amount of data transferred between your website and visitors each month.
It includes all traffic to and from your website, such as:

• Loading web pages

• Downloading files or images

• Uploading content

• Email sending and receiving

For example:
If your site gets 1,000 visitors a month and each visit loads 2MB of data, you’ll use about 2GB of bandwidth.

⚠️ If you exceed your bandwidth limit, your site may temporarily go offline until your plan renews or you upgrade.

???? How to Check Disk Space and Bandwidth Usage

1. Log in to your cPanel from www.fasthost.com.ng.

2. On the main dashboard, look at the Statistics section (right-hand side).

3. You’ll see details like:

   • Disk Usage

   • Monthly Bandwidth Transfer

   • Email Disk Usage

???? Managing Usage Effectively

• Use website optimization plugins (for WordPress users).

• Compress images before uploading.

• Delete old backups and temporary files.

• Upgrade your hosting plan if you frequently reach your limits.
