For further assistance, please contact our support team.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Through your website builder, you can access<strong> bandwidth<\/strong> and <strong>disk space statistics<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Bandwidth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandwidth (or traffic) refers to the total data transferred between our servers and your visitors&#8217; devices. This includes all page content, such as text, images, and other files required to display your site. The more pages a visitor views, the more data is transferred, increasing the total bandwidth usage. Additionally, data is transferred when you edit your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disk Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Disk space refers to the storage allocated for your website\u2019s content. Each website has a set amount of disk space, allowing you to upload various content. However, your site is not intended to function as file storage; the more content you upload, the faster you may reach your bandwidth limit. Disk space usage also includes data from email accounts and website backups. If your site hosts large files that will be frequently downloaded, we suggest using an external storage service, such as Google Drive, for hosting and sharing those files.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, you first need to log into the web builder through your Online Control Panel. Unsure how to do so? Follow our guide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/articles\/how-to-access-your-control-panel\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I see my used bandwidth and storage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can monitor your current usage of bandwidth and disk space by clicking the <strong>SETTINGS <\/strong>button at the top of the website editor. The <strong>General <\/strong>tab provides information about the status of both indicators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"839\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-5.png 839w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-5-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-5-768x516.png 768w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-5-50x34.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nco-caution-block\"><p class=\"nco-caution-block-content\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Bandwidth and disk space are closely related. The larger the amount of content on the website, the more bandwidth you will use. This applies in particular to photos and background videos.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Image Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended image resolution for your site is 900x600px, with each JPG file ideally around 250KB in size. Higher-quality images take up more disk space, which can lead to slower loading times. To ensure fast page load speeds and minimize bandwidth usage, it&#8217;s best to upload smaller, optimized images.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions, simply&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/admin.names.co.uk\/tech_support\/tracking\/add.php\">raise a support request<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;from within your Online Control Panel or call us on&nbsp;<strong>0345 363 3634<\/strong>.
