When choosing a hosting plan, it's important to understand the limits on both network bandwidth and storage performance. This article explains these limits, focusing on how bandwidth and storage are managed under our fair use policy.
Network Bandwidth Limits
We provide generous bandwidth limits on each hosting plan with a fair use policy to ensure all users have a smooth experience. The bandwidth allocation varies by plan and is measured in gigabytes (GB). Here’s how bandwidth is managed:
-
Initial Bandwidth Limit: Each plan comes with a set amount of bandwidth at a speed of 1 Gbps. You can use this bandwidth freely until the limit is reached.
-
Throttling After Limit: Once the initial bandwidth limit is reached, your connection speed will be reduced to 100 Mbps. At this reduced speed, your bandwidth is effectively unlimited, provided that usage does not violate our fair use policy.
-
Fair Use Policy: The fair use policy is designed to prevent any single user from consuming excessive resources at the expense of others. As long as your usage is reasonable and does not negatively impact other users, you can continue to enjoy unlimited bandwidth at the reduced speed.
Storage Performance Limits
In addition to storage capacity, each plan also has specific limits on storage performance, including read/write speeds and Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPs). These limits ensure fair access to storage resources among all users. Here’s how storage is managed:
-
Read/Write Speeds: This refers to how fast data can be read from or written to your storage. It's measured in megabytes per second (MB/s).
-
IOPs: Input/Output Operations Per Second is a performance measurement that shows how many read or write operations your storage can handle per second.

Choosing the Right Plan
When selecting a plan, consider both your network bandwidth and storage performance needs. If you anticipate heavy traffic or large data transfers, you might want to choose a plan with higher bandwidth limits to avoid throttling. For users with demanding storage needs, such as running databases or high-performance applications, selecting a plan with higher read/write speeds and IOPs is crucial.
Conclusion
Understanding the bandwidth and storage performance limits of your hosting plan is essential for smooth server operations. By choosing a plan that aligns with your usage patterns, you can ensure optimal performance without unexpected throttling or slowdowns.
