Disk space = how much the server will hold for you(graphics, HTML files, etc..)


Bandwidth is how much can be transferred (usually per month).





A 1kb HTML page viewed by 1024 people will use up 1024kb(1mb) of your bandwidth, but that page will still only use up 1kb of your disk space.

disk space is how much you can permanently store on the server. (how many pics ect.) bandwidth is how much can be transfered when someone views your page.





example


a 100KB pic will always take only that much disk space. but every time someone visits that page and views the pic. it adds up, 1st time 100k 2nd time 200k and so on.
Reply:Disk space is the total amount of space you need for putting up the pages and all the software you want on the webpage.


Bandwidth is the rate at which your pages are served on the internet when someone accesses it. (I am guessing about Bandwidth). This I think would be something to do with priorities for different people who pay different amounts of money.
Reply:bandwith is how much data can pass up or down at the same time.





Very basically this means if you bandwith is 4 %26amp; each person connecting to your site uses 1 then 4 people can click a button on your site at the same time. If a fifth person did it it would crash (I do mean symulatiously here as it would be ok if the delayed and waited1 second between each person clicking).





Disk space is how much stuff can be sotred on the website (or for use on it) it includes the text %26amp; pictures and any forums, links etc you have.





I hope this makes sence.
