The monthly traffic characteristic, which is sometimes also called bandwidth or information transfer, refers to the overall volume of data that can be uploaded to your shared hosting account and downloaded from it each month. Your traffic is produced predominantly by site visits - when somebody visits your site, the pages they view are downloaded from your web hosting server to his or her computer system or smartphone and they're displayed by the browser. What counts for the web site traffic produced is the size of these webpages, consequently the more site visitors you get for a period of time, the more web site traffic will be generated. In addition to the site visits, file uploads are also counted towards the total monthly transfer which means that any time you upload site content or other files through a file manager or an FTP software, they'll also produce some traffic. The counter resets on the first day of every month and it's not related to the date you've subscribed and the date you've renewed your hosting plan.
