I interpreted "the number of visits to a site or page at the same time."
to mean "the number of simultaneous requests that will be served" as in
the Apache MaxClients directive, which defaults to 256.
Your comments on what some hosts call "bandwidth" i.e. "how many HTML
pages it can "serve" over time", and other capacity constrictions are
valid. However, I think typically when a host refers to "bandwidth"
they mean "you can deliver X# of Gbits per month." They usually do
their administration after the fact, by processing log info. If you
exceed your limit you get warned or billed a surcharge. I used to
co-own an ISP, but I don't remember how we did it, and I'm sure there
are more sophisticated ways of metering it now.
