Hi,
Can some explain what is for example: $60/Mpbs Overage?
Doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks

A freakin' ripoff, that's what it is.

Basically an overage is when you go over your allotted bandwidth either in terms of monthly, or in this case "secondly". They charge you $60 for every Megabit per second you go over...which is a rather odd way to do it. Usually, it's done in terms of the bandwidth itself (e.g. $3 per GB per month).

Actually that would be data transfer.

Just like to say try to buy a hosting account that would be more than your website needs.

example:

your site consumes 100mb of space
your site consumes 5gb of bandwidth a month.

I'd double that amount to be on the safe side and then look for a hosting account that matches it.
