IIRC, hertzner "unlimited" traffic isn't quite unlimited. You have a few monthly TB depending on what you contracted, if you go over it there's massive speed reductions until you pay a fee.
- xuki 5y agoIt's truly unlimited now. I know someone who's pushing 1Gbps constantly (selling Plex access) and Hetzner have no issues with it.
- jerf 5y agoIn this case, that arguably would have been preferable. A lot of cloud cost objections would be solved if they defaulted to that instead of defaulted to just charging you the fees. That has its own tradeoffs, of course, but I find myself suspicious that the reason the clouds work this way isn't so much a cold and sober consideration of the aforementioned tradeoffs so much as "this way makes more money when we charge people lots of money they weren't expecting" and "this way makes lots of money when the people deploying the service are organizationally and fiscally disconnected from the people paying for it so they care and notice less".
- FpUser 5y agoI do rent from Hetzner and OVH. Before signing contract I emailed them and asked if there are ANY limits / throttling beyond their unlimited 1gbs. They assured me in writing (email) that there are none. Some of my rented servers host giant 4K high video files and transferring those which happens all the time keeps that bandwidth pretty occupied. So far I did not see them impose any throttling. Not on my business anyways.
