How much bandwidth is included
Bandwidth is not metered on shared and reseller hosting. What is limited instead, and why that is the number to watch.
Bandwidth is not limited on WebGee shared and reseller hosting. Applies to shared and reseller plans.
Usage is monitored to detect abuse, but accounts are not suspended or throttled for high bandwidth.
What is limited instead
Accounts are constrained by LVE resource limits — CPU, memory and entry processes:
| Resource | Effect when reached |
|---|---|
| CPU | The site slows down |
| Memory | 503 error, or the process is killed |
| Entry processes | 503 error |
That is the meaningful ceiling, and it is what to watch rather than transfer. See CloudLinux and LVE limits explained.
Why this distinction matters
Traffic and resource usage are not the same thing.
A site serving large files to many visitors can move a great deal of data while using almost no CPU — static files are cheap. A site with an uncached WordPress homepage can hit its limits under modest traffic, because every visitor triggers PHP and database work.
So "how much traffic can I take?" is really "how efficiently does my site serve it?" Caching changes that answer more than any plan does — see LiteSpeed Cache.
Check your usage
cPanel → Resource Usage shows which limits you approach and when. The bandwidth figure on the cPanel home screen is informational.
VPS and cloud servers
These do have a traffic allowance, shown on the server's overview in the Cloud Console — see Manage your server.
