An unmetered WordPress web hosting plan is one which does not track or limit how much bandwidth your website uses in a given month. In this article I’ll show you hosting plans which have this as a feature.

What is ‘unmetered’ when it comes to web hosting?
First, what is bandwidth hosting services?
…a bandwidth of, say, 50Mbps essentially means that the computer can transfer 50 megabits of data in one second. As you might have guessed, higher bandwidth is better.

Unmetered web hosing means that there is no data cap with respect to how much bandwidth is used in total for those browsing your website. This means that as many people can visit your site as you want or can gather and there will be no charge for how much data is used by their presence.
As an example, if your site has a bandwidth of 50MB p/sec and an average page size of 1MB (full of text, images, JS and CSS being the things which make up the page) then 50 users could be on the site at any given second before starting to have issues. You could have 50 users on it every second of the month and there would be no charge for the data with which they use. That’s a lot of users so can be a very powerful amount of bandwidth.
However, if 60 users are on the site at any one particular second then the server would encounter issues (and probably show an error to your users who would be unable to view the site at that time) because the bandwidth has been exceeded. There won’t be any charge for this as it happens but some users would not have been able to view the website at all.
PROTIP: If this is an issue like this for you speak to your server staff and ask them to analyze where the issue lies. Some websites could be optimized to lower the page size and as per our example above that would allow more users to be on it per second. That is, if you were to analyze the site and save 0.5mb on each page size then you could increase the amount of people (to 100 p/second) able to be on the site p/second given the same 50MB of bandwidth.
