VPS with high bandwidth offers?
whynotlearn
Member
I am looking for vps's which have high bandwidth offers (thinking 300TB+ would genuinely free me from any stress)
I am fine with either a very high fixed TB or completely unmetered (preferably not shared) bandwidth
For context, I feel like OVH is great and netcup/hetzner are really interesting too but I want some more leniency because this would probably be a non profit project (or thinking so) alternative to cloudflare tunnels (which I saw myself using constantly & I am wondering what would be a cheap alternative if one were to build cf tunnels alternative themselves)
So I do want some leniency (not because of something I would be doing but for the case that this is in fact User generated content websites) & I am willin to work with any providers if they provide me any issues & I want a provider who realizes this custom thing and I would either shut down a tunnel or pass the abuse requests to other vps providers if the end user uses vps provider themselves
Much of it is also just an curiosity on how cheap can an alternative be created in.
Edit: European companies are probably preferred more but what I am interested in is providing a way to support more niche providers rather than billion $ giants in a more non profit way

buy a dedi and enjoy your unmetered 1G port (~330T/m)
Hm any good suggestions for what I want, I do want to optimize for pricing preferably and a more niche provider whom I can talk to and they can understand my use case?
Do all dedicated servers come with unmetered 1G port, I feel like some dedicated servers have a limitation on bandwidth too. So any suggestions on the unmetered aspect?
No all of them, depen on the provider, and location, location like in asia really hard to get unmetered with normal price for dedicated server in EU or US, some sell at 50-100Tb, but most now come with 1G unmetered
Hi,
Major issue with providing unmetered traffic on VPS servers is really the fact that most LET providers are pretty limited by their upstream's capacity. In other words, they also get some allocation (ex. 10Gbps with 330TB/mo) or a port with limited speed (ex. 1Gbps port = 330TB/mo).
It's common to see burstable billing (ex. 95th percentile) as well. Providers are allowed to get faster speed out of their port for a given time period.
If they were to assume each customer uses their allocated 100mbps 24/7, they would only have the capacity to serve 10 customers. In practice, this probably would not make sense for them financially.
To solve this, they usually put traffic caps on each customer (ex. 1TB traffic).
From an end user perspective, the limited traffic with higher bandwidth may be beneficial compared to slower port with unmetered traffic. End users get their files downloaded/website loaded faster and they most likely aren't downloading stuff from server at all times.
There's yet another approach. Some providers assume not all users will be blasting 1Gbps port at all time, they provide unmetered (or very high) traffic with "fair use" - where fair use means you're allowed to use whatever as long as it does not disrupt other customers sharing the line with you. Pretty ambiguous.
This usually works decent because customers often overestimate what they will actually use.
They have much more network capacity built over the years. That's why they're able to provide unmetered with pretty lenient restrictions for cheap. This could be your best bet for the price if you really need 300TB+ on a vps.
Get few OVH-KS and combine them to avoid any BW usage issue
Realisticly with a (very) low budget, the way to get truly unmetered 1gbit port is from OVH KS line. Some KS line has 1G/10G port you can use 24/7. Not sure about their VPS line though.
We have a low dedicated server offered on here

Your comment is really detailed and I really appreciate that.
I also like some aspects of large cloud providers but the biggest issue is not that they are expensive or anything, on the contrary, what I am worried about is the human relations side of thing as to what if they ban me and are strict etc.
So I am gonna wait for a few more deals but your point is duly noted and thanks for writing such detailed comment man! Have a nice day!
If you need a 1G unmetered dedicated server, that is doable. As for abuse reports and stuff, put it behind something like cloudflare and you are good.
The point of this is to prevent a monopoly of cloudflare to create more non profit alternative to cloudflare....
Sure some have messaged and I am grateful for them but what options are you talking about?
going to wait for a few days to find the right option
I would check out a provider like 4vps. Plenty of locations with unmetered bandwidth and they are more abuse tolerant.
Hi,
if you give a full spec ( CPU/RAM/DISK/.... ) then people could make offers...
1 Gbps Unmetered > https://www.reliablesite.net/dedicated-servers/
Their 19$ deal is great for my use case for what I want but then they charge around 50$ ish more just for 1 GBPS unmetered which sucks
I don't really want 99$ deals and once again my project doesn't require much CPU/RAM
Honestly sir, I am gonna be blunt here but even a 2v core 4 gigs server preferably is all I need. (atleast what I am thinking right now), I am really interested right now in the bandwidth options.
So to all the people who are willing to make offers. Please make any offer you wish (on the cheap side) as long as you can provide 330TB per month or essentially a 1 gb unmetered line or just a very high amount of bandwidth storage for cheap (preferably 100TB+)
Layer 7 you were something I looked at too but your 50 TB does seem a bit low for my purpose.
Hi,
thank you for considering us.
In general we could also offer higher bandwidths. Especially if its not needed dynamically sometimes but always we could also offer competitive pricings.
But i think for now you are in a situation where you do not really want to pay what would need to be paid. You can not really go with providers like hetzner and just get there a 30 EUR physical server with 1G flat as you need something that is a bit resilent against abuse reports, which is with hetzner ( as far as i know ) just not the case.
On the other hand you do not really want to pay the 50-60 EUR++ for an alternative.
So unfortunately i currently have no good suggestion for you... good luck!
Just curious to ask, Does layer7 upgrade port for 10G shared in normal 1000mbits?
Hi,
we actually do not have/follow the concept of shared ports.
If we sell 1G to you, we guarantee that you have at any time 1G. Same with any other bandwidth.
So if we give you a 10G port, we guarantee that you can use the 10G port at any time.
Logically that means that the hostmachine is connected with enough port bandwidth to be able to handle even multiple full bursts of multiple customers at the same time. Same with the connectivity of the router who needs to have enough capacity to be able to sustain full bursts of multiple servers at the same time.
Also, if we would sell 10G ports we would have to connect the hostmachine with at least 40G maybe even 100G. This is not compatible with the pricing we ask for by default.
At the end of the long story, we wont provide 10G ports in our standard virtual environments.
10G ports we would offer in private cluster / physical server environments but not together with 5-6 EUR VPS's. The cost for an upgrade that we would have to ask, no one would pay.
As you can see on our website/shop we offer upgrades to 2.5G ports for 30 EUR. For 10G's i would have to ask for 100 EUR or so. Makes no sense to offer that ( nor to buy that as for this pricing ).
Yes, i fully understand this specific part, i just ask because sometime i get more than 1G-1.5, just in past it was always at 950mbits, and i see That E-Net say 10G
Thanks for clearly answer
Yup I do love hetzner and appreciate them and its something that I really like but in this particular use case its just not cut out because of the resiliency that you mention
Just share me your pricing if you are interested in the always aspect and I am comparing the best options out there for which offerings I get (some dm based some not)
let's just discuss if we can reach some offers & I am always interested in offers if my project might saturate some project and having different locations etc. as my project might scale.
Once again, sorry if I ommited any details but I am willing to be really co-operative (as much as possible), it's just I want some hours to respond to any threats and hetzner's policy of ban first ask later might actually harm me
Appreciate your message and I understand it > @layer7 said:
Thanks for your response sir, On one hand I am interested within your 50 TB option and if you are willing to double the bandwidth I would really appreciate it or would you ever have such deals? (I tried to find layer 7 deals on lowendtalk but didn't find much)
Additionl 50 tb traffic being 40$ quite frankly doesn't make sense for my purpose and I would be unable to make a deal.
I am willing to wait for your black friday offers in 2026 or keep an eye out on them if you might increase bandwidth then
