AFAIK the dedicated servers (at least the "server grade" ones with ecc ram) are all now "un-metered 1 gbps". If you get/buy 10gbps uplink, there's a quota again 20TB included (which is lifted if you commit to paying 1 euro/pr TB over).

They basically increased the included bandwidth to the point where it was hard to hit the limits om 1gpbs uplink (although 1 gbps maxed out 24/7 is theoretically 10 TB/day 300/month).

"Traffic usage is unlimited and free of charge. Please note that our unlimited traffic policy does not apply to servers that have the 10G uplink addon. In this special case, we will charge the usage over 20TB with € 1.00/TB. (The basis for calculation is for outgoing traffic only. Incoming and internal traffic is not calculated.) There is no bandwidth limitation."




Can you post a link? I don't see the uplink addon on their wiki, and I'm a bit confused as to how there's no bandwidth limitation if there's a data cap (I guess they mean speed).


It's basically in all the "details" pages via the site menu > dedicated (and contrary to what I said, not limited to "enterprise"/ecc ram servers). See for example:

https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ex42-nvme

Ed: i think the implication is that you can just go ahead and use 300tb/month on a 1 gbps port if you can stand doing that... But that 3 000 TB/month on a 10gbps uplink is not included...


I did file a support ticket asking about this a month or so ago, they told me that there's really 1 Gbps guaranteed bandwidth and I could use 300 TB/mo. I didn't know about the update so I didn't ask, but I have just filed another issue asking about that.

I'll be honest, looking at those servers, I kind of want one of my projects to succeed (i.e. make more than $50/mo) so I can rent one of them.


This is because of 95th percentile spikes most likely.
