How to avoid bandwidth troubles

Bandwidth or data transfer is one of the significant subjects when it comes to web hosting, since it confines the amount of data or other stuff that can be downloaded or transferred from your internet site, blogs or forums by the multitudes that visit and navigate your site. The more pictures you have on your website or blog, the more data transfer you need per month for your visitors to be allowed to navigate and open your website.

When you purchase a web hosting package, you have limited access to amount of data transfer each month and once you have surpassed the allowed amount of data transfer in a month, your internet website will be locked down by the service provider automatically. And nobody would then be able to obtain access to your website, till the bandwidth is reset at the beginning of the next month. This would be distinctly displayed on your website that you have surpassed your bandwidth.

Web Hosting Tips: The Difference Between DS3 And T3 Bandwidth

You must not get confused about the difference between DS3 and T3 circuits. What is more important is the application of each of these in making your website function well.

Basically, Digital Signal (DS) is a system of classifying digital circuits according to the rate and format of the signal and the equipment providing the signals (T).

A DS3 line, also called T3 is an ultra high-speed connection that can transmit data at a rate up to 45 Mbps. A DS3 line is equal to approximately 672 regular voice-grade telephone lines and is installed as a major networking system for large corporations with high volume network traffic. It is the second fastest, non optical connection offered in North America. It includes 28 T1 lines, each operating a total signaling rate of 1.544 Mbps.

This can be the ideal solution for users looking for unlimited, high capacity access. DS3 lines are very high bandwidth connections into a carrier’s backbone. Web hosting companies typically offer DS3 with SLAs guarantee of uptime and performance.

When you take a DS3 connection, your web hosting provider will charge two monthly costs: the local loop and the port charge. The former is the cost of the circuit provided by the Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) that allows DS3 access into the carrier’s network. The loop charge is based on the distance from the location of customer to the edge of the carrier’s network. To get the best web hosting deal, you must price the DS3 service with several providers.

For customers looking for more bandwidth than a T1 line can provide but not as much capacity as offered by a full DS3 line, a fractional DS3 connection is the perfect solution. It is similar to a full DS3 with some of the channels turned off. This results in lower monthly charges and provides additional capacity.
