can anyone explain the bandwidth limit?

basically it's a limit on how much data the website sends and receives. Kind of like mobile data cap. So if 100 people view your webpage which (combined with images and styles) weigh idk like 2MB, the bandwith will be 200MB.

Depends on the hosting service. I believe on neocities they just take your website down, but they don't mind if it goes temporarily over the limit

Instead of taking the website down, they could also return error 509 (Bandwidth exceeded), (just like 404 is returned for missing files)

i think they ban you if you CONSTANTLY use too much bandwith. But knowing neocities it could be the reason of the supposedly random bans happening all throughout neocities, also I couldn't find a way to check the usage myself, which is odd
<3 i cant offer u advice bc honestly im in a similar position right now but if it helps at all i hope you know you aren't alone in what ur feeling. so much of being trans is facing whats unknown & scary & taking the leap anyway because we want to change & be someone new. and people like 2 think its easy & wonderful and it is sometimes but mostly its hard & crushing & messy & we make mistakes & trip all the time.
but even tripping is a fall forward. we keep going & we keep that desire for change alive because its the most precious thing we have. bc as long as we have it the light at the end of the tunnel stays in view. im not telling u 2 have faith in the future bc thats passive & terrible but im telling u 2 have faith in the present. that the present will slip by as is its nature.
& so will the tunnel & if u make the conscious constant decision to keep making slow painful step after slow painful step. which u are making and i hope will continue to make. u will find urself unexpectedly in the light. being trans is a bit like picking up a new hobby bc theres so much to learn and our first attempts are all messy and ugly and suck really bad.
but if we keep picking it up. even after long breaks of not being able to. we get better and better and better. i hope everything turns out ok for u
