I'm not sure where that quote comes from (its usually useful to provide a link to what you're quoting) but their VPS ToS does not list any network limits. As long as you're not 2x overloading the CPU on your VPS for more than 15min average it looks like you really do have unlimited bandwidth. I'm wondering if you were looking at their Shared Hosting? https://www.hostgator.com/tos/vps-tos https://www.hostgator.com/tos/vps-tos VPS accounts may not: exceed a 15 minute load average greater than two (2) times the amount of CPU cores given. run public IRCd's or malicious bots. run any type of BitTorrent client or tracker that links to or downloads illegal content. use an Open/Public proxy, or utilize a proxy to access illegal/malicious content. se I/O intensive applications which adversely affect normal server operations. I do see they have a bit of a vague way of getting out of hosting you if you're really being excessive on the network throughput. It largely sounds like as long as your network usage isn't causing other customer impacts its still unlimited. I imagine even OVH or any other hosting service will have similar terminology along the lines of any usage that negatively impacts other customers is prohibited. https://www.hostgator.com/tos/acceptable-use-policy https://www.hostgator.com/tos/acceptable-use-policy You may not consume excessive amounts of server or network resources or use the Services in any way which results in server performance issues or which interrupts service for other customers. Prohibited activities that contribute to excessive use, include without limitation: Hosting or linking to an anonymous proxy server; Operating a file sharing site; Hosting scripts or processes that adversely impact our systems; or Utilizing software that interfaces with an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network.
