Bandwidth link speed & quota

ByBandwidth defaultusage allis plansnot hassubject ato bandwidthfair ofuse 10but Gbpsis andconfigured with a monthly quota. Our default action is to power off a server instance just before the quota ofis betweenreached 1to -prevent 20additional TB,fees thesefrom limitationsbeing charged. You can beeasily seenchange this behavior on the server management page, where you can increase the bandwidth allowance for a server instance, and decide how much excess bandwidth you allow.

Do keep in themind that it's generally cheaper to upgrade to a larger plan specificationwith a higher allowance than it is to buy additional bandwidth. Upgrades can also be done on our pricing pages. We do not reduce your bandwidth if you exceed your monthly quota. Incoming and outgoing traffic are not added, only the highestserver usagemanagement of those two counts.

Bandwidth usage in excess of an instance allocation limit is charged at $0.01 per GB and month in every region.page.

How bandwidthBandwidth overage is billedbilling

Once your accountinstance has exceeded it'sits monthly quota, which is the sum of assigned bandwidth from all of your instances, a new entry called bandwidth'bandwidth' will be added to your active subscriptions list and can be found under invoices. Bandwidth overage is billed by the hour based on current usage,usage. duringDuring peakspeaks, you may getreceive an earlier low balance warning.

On the monthserver asmanagement page, you can also find a newbar showing the current usage for this month.

The available bandwidth periodlink begins.speed is shared among all servers within each data center. Most locations are connected to a dedicated 40 Gbps line with redundancy, but it can vary. Actual availability for individual instances may vary over time. Each region has a test server you can ping and download test files from to check latency and bandwidth. Test servers are found on the data center page: https://www.99stack.com/company/regions.
