Bandwidth vs Storage: What's the Difference?

Storage is the total space your website's files, images, databases, and emails occupy on a server.

Bandwidth, on the other hand, measures how much data is transferred between your server and your visitors over a given period, usually a month.

A photography portfolio with large images might need more storage, while a high-traffic blog might need more bandwidth even with smaller files.

Use a bandwidth calculator to estimate your monthly needs based on expected visitors, average page size, and traffic patterns before choosing a plan.
