Unmetered VPS server

Traffic limitations are common problem when choosing hosting. Many providers set data transfer limits, and upon exceeding either block server or charge bills for additional traffic. Unlimited VPS solves this problem once and for all.

What Unlimited Traffic Means

Unlimited traffic means no data transfer volume restrictions. You can upload and download gigabytes and terabytes of information without additional payments and blocks.

1. Incoming traffic—data uploaded to your server. FTP file uploads, API request receiving, incoming emails, backup copies from local computers.
2. Outgoing traffic—data server gives to users. Web page delivery to site visitors, video and audio streaming, user file downloads, email newsletters, backups to external storage.

With most providers outgoing traffic is limited and paid. Site with 100 GB content and 1000 daily visitors easily consumes 500 GB - 2 TB traffic monthly.

What Projects Need Unlimited Traffic

1. Streaming platforms transfer huge video and audio volumes. Netflix-like service for small audience consumes terabytes of traffic. 1 hour HD video = 3 GB, 4K = 7-15 GB. Even 100 active users create hundreds of gigabytes daily.
2. File sharing and cloud storage live on traffic. Users upload and download files—each operation consumes bandwidth. Popular file exchanger easily exceeds 10-20 TB monthly.
3. Multi-server backup requires large volume transfer. Daily backups of 10 servers at 50 GB = 15 TB monthly traffic. On limited plan this results in thousands of euros additional costs.

CDN and proxy servers pass all client traffic through themselves. Own CDN for static content delivery speeds up sites but consumes traffic proportional to content popularity.

True Unlimited vs Marketing Unlimited

Not all unlimited plans truly unlimited. Providers use different approaches, important to understand nuances.

Fair Use Policy—most common "unlimited" limitation. Provider allows unlimited traffic but with excessive usage (usually top 1% users) may limit speed or request moving to more expensive plan.

Throttling (speed limiting)—when reaching certain threshold (e.g. 10 TB monthly) port speed reduced from 1 Gbps to 100 Mbps. Technically traffic unlimited but slow.

Honest unlimited without throttling and FUP—rare. Providers with own infrastructure and data centers can afford true unlimited without caveats.

Port Speed and Throughput

1. 100 Mbps port theoretically transfers 32 TB monthly at 100% load. Realistically 10-20 TB comfortable, more creates user delays.
2. 1 Gbps port provides 320 TB theoretically. Practically 50-100 TB without problems. Sufficient for most projects even with high load.
3. 10 Gbps port for serious loads. Streaming platforms, popular file exchangers, CDN providers. Hundreds of terabytes monthly without slowdowns.

Important to understand: unlimited traffic doesn't mean infinite speed. Port speed determines how much data can be transferred simultaneously.
