I have a question about bandwidth use on the server side of things. If I have a server that is allowed say 1000 gb of bandwidth a month, then how is that defined against the users bandwidth? so if I am streaming a video from my server say 10mb and a user is watching it, does that count for their bandwidth usage or mine? What situations cause my bandwidth as the server to be used? Note:The server is a windows Server 2008 running svn, smtp, ftp, sql server 2008, IIS, and a ssh manager | |||

generally speaking if a server has 1000gb of traffic a month then any data that goes in an out is counted. if you or anyone watch a 10mb video then 10mb (Plus some overhead) of your traffic quota will be used. if 2 people watch a 10mb video at the same time then its counted as 20mb the same applies for every byte of data in and out, to whoever, whether it is HTTP, SMTP, FTP ect... Some hosting providers may only count upload or download, for more information about this check with your provider. You can add software to quota usage based on users but if this was already in place you would know about it as it is a very special setup. | |||
