Bandwidth Settings ​

The Bandwidth Settings tab sets what happens when the server reaches its monthly bandwidth allowance.

Bandwidth Settings tab

ModeWhat happens
NoneThe server keeps running, and overage is billed per GB.
Stop serverThe server is powered off. You can start it again, but further traffic is billed as overage.
Suspend serverThe server is suspended until the next billing cycle (3rd of each month).

Changes take effect within 5–10 minutes after Apply changes.

Hourly servers ​

On an hourly server the included traffic accrues hour by hour through the billing period, so the full allowance is not available from day one.

Where to watch usage ​

The server details card shows used bandwidth against the allowance. For history, see the Traffic and Stats tabs.

DDoS protection ​

DDoS protection is automatic and needs no configuration; see Attacks.
