The word 'Bandwidth' when used in computing is also known as digital bandwidth. It is a rate of data transfer, throughput or bit rate, measured in bits per second (bps). In Signal Processing the word 'Bandwidth' is also known as 'analog bandwidth', 'frequency bandwidth' or 'radio bandwidth'. It is a measure of the width of a range of frequencies, measured in hertz. However, the word 'Bandwidth' has several other related meaning. From what you have mentioned in the question, I see you are referring to 'Bandwidth' used in web hosting. In web hosting, the term 'Bandwidth' is used to describe the amount of data transferred to or from the website or server within a prescribed period of time that is bandwidth consumption accumulated over a month measured in Gigabyte per month. This accumulated total can grow if your website is popular and many people visit your website.

Bandwidth is layman's term is just simply like a pipe where like in ISP's where you are given specific bandwidth or pipe. So you are given certain size to connect to net. If when that pipe getting congested or have lot's of traffic because you download a lot that's when you need a larger pipe to give more space and eventually ease up the traffic. The difference between a memory space and bandwidth is that memory is for your server hardware where your hosted site resides which also affects performance to the site when processing and bandwidth is just only handles internet traffic going in and out from your hosted site. To increase bandwidth of your site you can ask your host provider they offer it by plans and can cost you more in more.
