VPS traffic: what counts, what you pay

Only outbound traffic is metered. Incoming is free. Go over and you are billed per extra terabyte. The machine is not throttled. Numbers live on the VPS page.

On a VGNCloud VPS, traffic is metered one way: outbound. Incoming is free and is not counted. The allowance is a number of terabytes on the plan row. Exact figures live on the VPS page so they cannot rot here.

What happens if you go over

You are billed for the extra outbound traffic. The rate printed on the VPS page at the time of writing is โ‚ฌ1.30 per extra terabyte, pro rata. The machine is not throttled, not suspended, not cut off. The panel shows what this month has used, so the first you hear of it should not be a surprise invoice โ€” look at the graph.

What โ€œunlimitedโ€ on web hosting means

Web hosting plans may show unlimited transfer in the catalogue. That is a fair-use hosting product, not a VPS with the meter turned off. A site that is mostly pages is fine. A video CDN is not what that plan is for. If you are pushing files at VPS scale, buy the VPS and read the meter.

What does not count as a secret extra

We do not sell a โ€œ3 Gbps portโ€ as a marketing line. We do not promise a DDoS number on this article. We do not hide traffic inside a CLOUD-tax. The plan price is the machine; outbound past the allowance is the line item above.

Cancel stops the meter

If you do not want the machine, cancel on the storefront. That stops billing and removes the VPS. Deleting inside the panel does not. The three buttons.

Choosing a size: pick a plan. The rest of the shop: cloud and web hosting.

Questions

Where do I buy a VPS?+

Live plans and prices are on the VPS page. This guide does not reprint them.

Is web hosting a better fit?+

If the job is a website, start on web hosting or WordPress hosting. A VPS is a machine with root.

Do you sell game servers on VGNCloud?+

No. Minecraft, Rust and other game servers are on ValueGameNode. A VPS is a Linux machine if you want to run your own stack.
