If you are on an UpTime plan that does not include unlimited bandwidth, you may occasionally receive “Bandwidth limit approaching” email notifications. This is to warn you that you are approaching your daily bandwidth limit, and if that limit is exceeded, your hosting package will be disabled until the daily bandwidth limit is no longer exceeded [1].
The bandwidth notification looks similar to this:
From: support@reachone.com
To: user@domainname.com

Bandwidth usage includes the following:
- Data transferred to and from UpTime using FTP and the UpTime web interface
- Traffic to your website
- Email traffic
There are multiple options to resolve the issue:
- Limit your usage: Cut down on the amount of email you are sending and receiving, and/or content that you are uploading.
- Ignore: Allow your hosting package to be disabled, it will automatically be re-enabled daily bandwidth limit is no longer exceeded [1].
- Upgrade: Upgrade to a different UpTime hosting package. The packages and pricing are available on our UpTime Hosting page. We also have a support article on how to change your UpTime Hosting plan.
