Exceeding Monthly Traffic Limit

Your virtual private server's ethernet interface speed will be throttled down to approximately 64kbit/s. We apply a 5% grace, so the throttling will only kick in at roughly 105% usage. However, rest assured that your machine will continue to remain online, ensuring there's no complete disruption.

Plan Upgrade: You can choose to upgrade to a higher tier/package. This is usually the most cost-effective solution to add more traffic to your current plan.

Traffic Pool Top-Up: If you don’t want to permanently upgrade, you have the option to augment your traffic quota by topping up your traffic pool and by assigning traffic to your service from that pool. An option for automatic refills ("auto-hydration") is available too. Auto-hydration automatically adds 100GB pool traffic to your VPS at 99% traffic usage level.

Wait it Out: If neither of the above options is feasible or desired, you can simply wait. Your traffic will automatically reset and refill to its original limit on the server's monthly due date.

Whether you choose to upgrade your plan or to top-up your traffic pool and assign traffic to your service, the imposed 64kbit/s speed limitation will be removed immediately, restoring your server's ethernet port to its original speed instantaneously.
