this is a general rule! i think all valuable thing is not free! (reverse conclusion is not correct),

any way, host providers commonly gives you 10X of your space as monthly traffic usage,
for example if you have 1 gb host space (free or paid) you can use 10 gb traffic per month.
some host providers use some adv tricks like "unlimited" ... but you can guess that actually "unlimited" is limited !

Out of my head,explain in simple language what do u mean by space for per month?? (hard disk space for threads and uploads or bandwidth space??)

SPACE GB and TRANSFER GB are two different things!

Space - like your hard disc drive - here you can store your files as Discuz! X, images, attachments or other files INCLUDING your mailbox, MySQL data etc..
It's really "nice" to see 10GB for your Space, but free services are limited. For example you can upload 1 file that can't weigh more than 5Mb!

Transfer (or Traffic, or Bandwidth) - It is how many bytes your server enabled to send to the Network.
When people are visiting your website, they are downloading data (sent by your server) by their internet browsers.
So this is a limit PER week/month/year (in most cases per month) for your visitors.

Transfer is resetting every month. If the limit is exceeded then your website will be blocked to the end of the month.

You can monitoring these values on your hosting panel.

No. Only traffic is resetting per month. You will not lose data.
