Question for godaddy users

[JoLLyRoGer]

How does godaddy allot their bandwidth when you host using their servers, specifically the economy servers. Is it 250GB transfer/month, or is it 250GB over the lifetime of the service contract (i.e. 1 year)?

Yep, 99% of web hosts measure bandwidth per month

I wonder what GoDaddy does if a customer actually uses the 250GB bandwidth alloted to them?

Let's find out

I used godaddy's economy plan to host the forums in my sig. I didn't get very close to using 250 GB in a month, but I still needed more than they could handle. Apparently they can't handle many concurrent users so when there were more than about 50 people on the site at a time the forums would die and people would get lots of "service temporarily unavailable" errors.

Good to know..

My forums will probably never have that kind of traffic.
