4.7 Bandwidth

Introduction 

Bandwidth is the amount of data that is being transferred from point to another. In another language, whenever a visitor accesses your online store, views your pages, image, and information, this action occupies space from the servers’ storage.


How much bandwidth limit does my store have?

We offer three types of subscription packages according to your online store’s needs, and each package comes with a specified bandwidth limit as shown in the below table:


  • Basic Package

     20 GB Bandwidth limit

  • Professional Package

     40 GB Bandwidth limit

  • Plus Package

     100 GB Bandwidth limit


Normally, if you are running a marketing campaigns or getting a lot of organic traffic on your store, you will receive an automatic alert when the bandwidth limit of your current package has reached 70%, 80% and 90%.
