Unlimited bandwidth host?

toryokitoryoki Member
edited March 2019 in Help

Can you help me find a VPS that allows truly unlimited bandwidth? I plan to do a lot of uploading and downloading. I can be flexible with the amount of space I have, because when I do the maths it doesnt matter that much. The main variable here is unlimited bandwidth over a long duration, most of it will be P2P software & torrent connections.

I looked around and I only found "chmuranet", their cheapest solution being around 25/month. I thought I could ask here since you guys might have wanted this same spec before, thanks!

    Think logically for a sec.

    Do you really think you can pull of "unlimited" bandwidth at 25/mo?

    If you think so, go ahead. You will be in for some pain.

    I dont have plans to share copyrighted media, but even if I have to, I dont think it changes anything about my question :smile:

    Honestly I can guess how hard it is, thats why I thought about asking here since this is more of a niche requirement. I don't want to be a shill but the provider I mentioned seems to be running their operations for quite a while now, so I just thought there might be others.

    Thanks for the recommendation! I looked around their tos and website and the prices are what you would expect from a box of those specs. But the thing is I also know a few other hosts with "unmetered" bandwidth. In my case I might raise some alarms with their service because I plan to download/upload a LOT. If I had to think of a rough estimate right now it would be around 2 to 5 TB monthly for the first few 6 months, that will only go higher as time goes. As I mentioned most of that traffic would be p2p connections so you already have an idea of what kind of bandwidth that requires.

    2 to 5 TB isn't that much. You should provide your requirements if you want any real offers/help tho.

    This is actually really cool :) For their cloud solutions they offer 20 TB accounting only for upload. And in case I go over it it's 1€ per TB. I really like the fact that they give exact numbers so I know exactly what to expect. Thanks!

    your definition of a LOT is strange, i would agree if it would be per day, but 2-5 TB are nothing and every host can deliver that.
    BTW this is what a lot for a 1gig port looks like

    I know it was just a rough estimate for the first few months, I plan to run my server for quite a while and genuinely will have to deal with more load and more data as time goes. So I'd rather have a solution for unlimited traffic rather than worry about changing boxes later on.

  • quadhostquadhost Member

    Unlimited/Unmetered is usually based on portspeed, not usage.

    <5TB is possible on many hosts, even <30TB can be arranged with most by discussion.

    Makes sense, but true unmetered/unlimited is over $25/m unless heavily oversold.

    Yeah that's fine, even on smaller plans.

    Yes, but i think you need to do more research on this.

    I'm using around 10$ for my VPS and hitting around 50TB per month.

    Hi, im genuinely curious what app or service uses 1gbit full duplex all the time?

    cheers.

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vnstat vnstati -y

    $ vnstat

                      rx      /      tx      /     total    /   estimated
 enp4s0:
       Mar '19      6.14 MiB  /     522 KiB  /    6.65 MiB  /       0 KiB
         today      6.14 MiB  /     522 KiB  /    6.65 MiB  /      --    

 wlp3s0: Not enough data available yet.
$ 

    $ vnstati -vs -i enp4s0 -o ~/vnstat.png

    vnstat is such niceness...
    A traffic usage program which doesn't bother you with questions.
    You just install it and it works.

    Long time ago, i only had problems when trying to upgrade a router from 32 to 64 bit and move a 32bit vnstat database to a 64bit vnstat which wasn't working...
    Anyhow, great software, for simple deployments.
    Way simpler than SNMP backend + whatever trainwreck as a frontend.
    It is very nice when something is like a box thingie and you plug it in and it works as intended, without questioning your existence.
