{"data":{"external_id":1451,"slug":"is-there-any-traffic-limit","title":"Is There a Traffic Limit?","content":"We place a high value on a balanced price-performance ratio. To ensure all customers benefit from fair pricing, we use the fair-use principle for traffic billing. This means there is no exact limit, but excessive use is restricted.\nWhy Is There a Limit?\nIf a customer with an inexpensive 4 Euro vServer uses 5TB within 20 days, it results in costs for us that far exceed the monthly server fee paid. Most customers use less than 1TB per month. Therefore, we don’t set a specific traffic limit in advance. However, if all customers used such large amounts of data, we would have to raise prices for everyone.\n10 TB Included\nFrom now on, some of our servers include 10 TB of traffic per month! This means you can utilize your full potential without worrying about extra costs. If you need more, we offer simple options to add extra traffic.\nBurst Speed and Throttling\nDepending on the server you have, we offer burst speed that can be used up to a limit of 10 TB per month with full bandwidth. After that, the bandwidth is reduced to 50 Mbps. In extreme cases, we reserve the right to throttle the speed to 25 Mbps.\nAdding More Traffic\nIf you need more traffic at full speed, you can add extra traffic anytime. You can buy up to 10TB for 9.50 Euro per TB. From 10TB onwards, each additional TB costs 8.50 Euro. Please note that unused extra traffic will expire.\nAllowed and Not Allowed Traffic\nNot Allowed Traffic\nVPN traffic outside your own household\nTraffic from Tor nodes\nTorrenting of copyrighted material\nProxy traffic like SOCKS-Proxy outside your household\nIPTV\n24\/7 live streams to platforms like Twitch or YouTube\nThese types of traffic cause constant or unfair traffic peaks and are therefore not allowed.\nAllowed Traffic (within Fair Use)\nHigh-traffic websites\nLegally permissible download sites\nNextcloud or similar file transfers without public access\nGame server content\nPrivate VPN traffic for your own PC\nYour own services for traffic optimization (like Reverse Proxy, Content Delivery)\nPrices and Quotas\nIf you need extra traffic quota, you must book it in advance. Unused traffic will expire at the end of the billing period. Here are the prices:\nUp to 10TB: 9.50 Euro per TB\nFrom 10TB onwards: 8.50 Euro per TB\nSo if you want to book 2TB of extra traffic, it costs a one-time fee of 19.00 Euro. The extra traffic is billed monthly, and the billing date is always the same as the order date of the associated service.","schema":null,"facts":[],"links":[]}}
