I am very confused with Bandwidth and what it is all about. Lets say you have a Limit of 40 GB/ Month. how many visitors can you get in a Day? Month?

there aren't any fixed amounts of hits you can have a day or month. as long as the total amount of bytes that your users download {including text [like HTML or anything that is returned by the server (for example, an entire CGI script is not downloaded, but what the server returns is)], images [like: JPEG, PJPEG, GIF, PNG], or just plain old files [any extension]} is less than 40 gigabytes [40 billion bytes/41943040000 bytes/42949672960 bytes (this is up to your server admin's discretion to say how much a gigabyte is)]. the trick is to create high-quality yet low-bandwidth websites. (low-bandwidth = less data transfer, which means you can have more quote-unquote "hits")

Technically, you just wrote, "'hits.'"
