Megabytes – Gigabytes – Terabyte – Units of Digital Measurement

What is a byte, and what are the other units of measure for digital information?

A byte is a unit of measure for digital information. A single byte contains eight consecutive bits, and is capable of storing a single ASCII character, like "h".

A kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes, not one thousand bytes as might be expected. This odd number results from the fact that computers use binary (base two) math, instead of a decimal (base ten) system.

Computer storage and memory is often measured in megabytes (MB). A medium-sized novel contains about 1MB of information. 1MB is 1,024 kilobytes, or 1,048,576 (1024x1024) bytes, not one million bytes. Again, this number results from the fact that computers use binary math.

Faster, More Awesome GitHub Pages · GitHub

We just rolled out some big improvements to GitHub Pages. Now, when someone visits a Pages site, rather than GitHub serving the content directly, the page is served by a global [Content Delivery Network][1], ensuring that the nearest physical server can serve up a cached page at blazingly fast speeds. As an added bonus, we can now protect your GitHub Pages site with the same kind of [Denial of Service][2] mitigation services used for [GitHub.com][3].

If you are using a subdomain, custom subdomain, or an A record with GitHub Pages, you may need to make some changes.
