> estimating how much you'll use, don't want to set a number too low and get cut off plus cloud cost structures can be really hard to get your head around Easy way of avoiding this: Don't use shitty hosts that make you pay per GB served and shut you down once you hit your cost limit. Instead get limited by the available bandwidth you have, and clients will just access your server slower rather than being fully denied access.

Who does that, though? I'm including things like 95th percentile in "pay per GB served", but you're painting a pretty broad brush if you class a host as shitty if they won't give you a switch port and not care whether you're sending 2 packets per fortnight or maxing it out.
