Many Webmasters have misunderstandings about restricted traffic and unlimited VPs. This article will introduce some basic concepts and use some practical cases to explain the differences between restricted traffic and unlimited traffic.
When purchasing a server in the U.S., there are two options:
1. unlimited bandwidth and traffic restriction:
That is, Mb is exclusive and the traffic is limited to GB. If the traffic exceeds 2000 GB, another traffic fee is required.
2. limited bandwidth, Unlimited Traffic:
That is, 10 m exclusive bandwidth, unlimited traffic. By simple calculation, we can see that if the server has been running at full bandwidth of 10 MB for 24 hours, a total of GB of traffic can be used in a month. However, under normal circumstances, the traffic is high and low, for example, the traffic at night is significantly less than that during the day. For servers with 10 Mbps of bandwidth, the traffic usage is generally around Gbps in a month.
All our servers are equipped with Master routes with Mbps of dedicated bandwidth for direct access to the data center up to 50 Gbps, ensuring the network quality of all customers.
Some customers may ask, what if the VPs of the same master machine and your VPS occupies m of bandwidth? It is very simple. We will immediately contact the data center to temporarily upgrade the server to 1g of bandwidth, to meet your needs.
The following traffic diagram shows the traffic of one home machine for one month. We can see that during peak hours, the bandwidth usage of our servers is as high as 40 MB, consuming nearly GB of traffic in one month, as you can imagine, if we limit the bandwidth to 10 MB, almost 70% of the access traffic will be lost to all customers. Some customers may ask why our server can use so much traffic instead of 2000 GB. The answer is very simple. We have purchased a large amount of traffic for our customers to use, this is why our VPs prices are more expensive.
Customer cases
The following traffic diagram shows the traffic of some of our high-end customers: we can see that the customer's daily traffic is as high as 150 GB, and the monthly traffic is as high as 4500 GB, what if the customer's VPs is on a server with a 10 mbps bandwidth limit?

Customer 2:
Conversion between traffic and PV
For our lowest-end VPs, we provide Gbit/s of traffic. If you think that Gbit/s is only enough for one blog, it is estimated that a 10 Mbit/s bandwidth master machine can only store 10 blogs.
The answer is of course wrong. We will calculate how much pv gb can run:
GB is equivalent to GB of traffic each day. For general websites, if there are not many images and the size of a page is 60 kb, let's simply calculate:
6G = 6*1000*1000 kb
So the PV that can be run every day is about 6*1000*1000/60 = 10 W PV
When your site reaches PV, it is estimated that you should change to a higher-end VPs? (Original)
