VDS Network Speed and Bandwidth Policy

We provide SSD VDS hosting with unmetered traffic, ensuring stable performance without strict limits on data transfer volume. However, all services operate under a Fair Usage Policy, which applies to every SSD VDS plan.

Each host node (physical server running virtual instances) is connected to the network via 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps uplinks. This allows VDS servers to burst up to 1 Gbps or higher for both upload and download speeds under normal conditions.

Our infrastructure is optimized for typical workloads, assuming that network ports are not used at full capacity 24/7. Thanks to the Fair Usage Policy, you don’t need to worry about hidden fees, traffic limits, or overage charges.

This solution is ideal for:

Web hosting
Personal VPN usage
Video conferencing
Private file sharing
CDN and general-purpose applications

If your usage involves consistently high bandwidth consumption (e.g., large-scale video streaming or high-load services), our support team may contact you to recommend a more suitable plan.

Shared vs Dedicated Bandwidth

VDS hosting uses shared network bandwidth, meaning total capacity is dynamically distributed among all users on a host node. Actual available speed depends on:

Traffic type
Destination and routing
Current network load

For guaranteed performance, dedicated bandwidth is available with bare metal (dedicated) servers.
