    fawn:
    you get a limited amount of bandwidth per month as per the terms of your contract with your hosting company.
    if you chose to host, say, a bootleg of the entire next star wars movie and six thousand nerds download it, you'll most definitely exceed the amount of bandwidth alloted to you, which means either that your hosting company will present you with a huge bill for the overage, or, if you set a limit on transfer amounts beforehand, your site will be down for the remainder of the month and all anyone will see is the old 'bandwidth exceeded' message.
    dig?
