Bandwidth is the measurement of the amount of data sent by your website. Pulse Commerce buys bandwidth for all stores to use so that customers can access your site to make purchases.
The biggest factor that will determine how much bandwidth your store uses is the number of visitors you get each month. Each time someone visits your website, it sends them data.
The biggest factor that determines how much data each visitor views is a number of images you have on your store. Images almost always contain significantly more data than just text.
As an example, an average store’s homepage is roughly one megabyte (MB) including pictures in size. So, for every person who goes to your store’s homepage, it counts as one megabyte of bandwidth that is used.
Remember that bandwidth is like the bridge to your website-- without it, people will not be able to get to your site even though they know it's there.
If you are trying to estimate your own bandwidth usage, this tool will do simple conversions for bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/calculate/byteconverter.shtml.
