Bandwidth means the amount of data that your account has transferred.

Your DPG account has a monthly bandwidth limit, which you can see on your Dashboard. The size of your allowance depends on [which plan](https://support.digitalphotogallery.com/articles/article/784bf104-ef23-11e6-a9af-6e61028599f7) you’re currently subscribed to.    

Each visitor that loads your website will be using a small amount of your data transfer allowance. If you’ve just launched a site and it’s getting a lot of traffic - great news, your work is getting seen by a lot of people! That may also mean that your data transfer is unusually high for a short time. Don’t be alarmed as the number of visits should stabilise, but keep an eye on your Dashboard and any warning emails from DPG. 

If you find that you are regularly exceeding your monthly bandwidth, you may need to switch your account to a plan with higher limits. You can easily [upgrade](https://support.digitalphotogallery.com/articles/article/cd57b2c6-ab7c-11e2-afc8-b8f6b11825bb) your account by going to [Accounts](https://accounts.digitalphotogallery.com/).
