Storage (Disk Space)
Storage is the total amount of disk space that is used by all the files associated with your site, including databases.
Please note that email storage is a separate quota.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the total amount of data transferred from the server each month and this number increases as your website is accessed more often. The more visitors you have, the greater the bandwidth you will have each month. This figure is also influenced by the size and type of files visitors are requesting, for example audio and video files use up much more data transfer than text and images.
Email Storage
Email storage is the total amount of server space that can be used by each mailbox associated with your domain. This is a 25 GB hard quota, so if it is exceeded, then any new email sent to your mailbox will bounce back to the sender until you free up some space by deleting or downloading old mail (including deleting sent mail).
