Bandwidth refers to port speed, while transfer refers to the amount of data sent and received during a billing period.
- A 1 Gbps port describes the maximum link speed available to the server.
- Monthly transfer limits describe the included traffic volume.
- Public downloads, backups, CDN origin traffic, and streaming-like workloads can consume transfer quickly.
- Use tools such as
vnstator provider graphs to monitor usage.
If you expect a traffic spike, contact support in advance so we can recommend the best plan or bandwidth option.
