Do you pay a variable amount for your hosting? How and why? All VDS and dedicated server offerings I've ever seen are fixed amount per month. And more often than not the network is limited by speed, not by data transfer.
- luord 6y agoIn that case then the service will just hang as it won't handle the requests caused by even a simple malfunction (not even an actual attack) like the one mentioned by GP. Mind you, I see your point and I generally don't like the captchas either, but it is definitely a trade-off and I won't blame webmasters that use the DDoS protection.
