What does the transfer rate mean in regards to web hosting?

Monthly data transfer is the amount of information that you transmit from your site. In other words, each time a picture or HTML page is viewed by a visitor, it adds to your monthly data transfer. The average HIT is approximately 10k. This would mean that a transfer limit of 1.0 Gigabyte would allow 100,000 hits and a limit of 8.0 Gigabytes would allow 800,000 hits. Transfer is also consumed by FTP/Email and any other services running for your account.
 
40GB of pr0n! Yeah, that's not gonna be enough, you need at least 120GB. I need an unlimited plan.
 
if you have a single page on your website that is 1 MB in size, each person that visits your site has to download it, so you can have 40,000 visitors to use up the 40 GB

1mb is way big for a single page, but its just an example
 
Data Transfer is also known as Web Traffic or Bandwidth. When visitors access a Web page, data is sent from our Web servers to your visitor's computer in the form of HTML files, graphics, audio clips, etc. The transfer of these files generates traffic.

Your total transfer rate is the sum of all the in-and-out-bound traffic. The more visitors you have, the higher your data transfer will be.

Without knowing what Luna is I'd highly advise against using godaddy or 1and1 for hosting.
 
How big is your website and how much traffic are you gonna get? For personal pages, I'd just use e-rice.net's cheap yearly web hosting plans. Godaddy for domain registration.
