Note that if you saturate that 1Gbps link they will almost certainly ask you to stop. Lots of VPS offer "unlimited" but it's really not. It's only unlimited within their "fair use" restrictions, ie only as long as they think it's reasonable.
Would love to be shown a counterexample provider.
- devjab 2y agoIt’s not really unlimited as they will charge you $1/TB for what they call “overusage”.
- Aeolun 2y ago5-10x cheaper than AWS still.
- _cenw 2y agoThat's cloud, non-standard NICs, load balancers or vSwitches. Their standard 1 Gbps link does not charge usage fees. The one person that reported it did it on several servers, over 3+ months - and they weren't charged, just asked to slow down or upgrade to a dedicated link.
- _cenw 2y agoThis happened once (?) in the history of LowEndTalk and Hetzner, and that was someone who was using several servers, 27/7, over several months at 100% link utilization to shovel raw footage around. You are very unlikely to replicate this running any type of personal infrastructure. Or anything that's not specifically this.
- 1oooqooq 2y agothat's fine. if you're on that level either you're doing something wrong and should stop or you are making lots of money and should upgrade. aws will just charge you regardless.
