Traffic Preference (new poll)
please vote again sorry
Option 1: Monthly traffic quota
You get a set amount of traffic per month (e.g. 2TB). If you go over, your port gets throttled or you can purchase additional traffic.
Option 2: Fair use (shared bandwidth)
No hard traffic limit, but bandwidth is shared with other VMs on the same node. Speed could be throttled if impact on others.
Option 3: Guaranteed unmetered port
Dedicated port speed with no traffic cap (e.g. 100–200Mbps).
Option 4: Something else / hybrid
Have another idea? Drop it in the comments.

i liked the last thread more can we bring that one back
I don't understand your poll. It's too complicated.
Please do a poll on how to poll this.
im being trolled
Poll options are hard to understand. Maybe post with examples.
Why don't you post some real deals as examples of the poll options?
okay i update dangit poll gone im gonna go insane
I guess it depends. Usually i'll probably prefer 1 but 2 would mostly work too. 3 would be kind of a niche situation.
You are mixing up traffic and bandwidth options. Say, I chose the first option – do I get guaranteed or shared bandwidth to consume my quota?
option 1
Option 2
OPT 3
Option 2
Option 2
Hello I can't vote without poll, can you please add back the poll @aluy
You are right, i shouldve mentioned that its for VPS which would be shared on all options. Its a good question if option 3 would even be possible with my pricing. Im not sure how others do it
It depends on the use case of course.
Most of my servers do not require much bandwidth and generate very little traffic, so I would probably go with option 3. That way I know what I get, no risk of any over usage charges and I'm usually not even close to needing that kind of bandwidth anyway.
not sure about 123 but ill go with 2, 100Mbps-1Gbps is enough for me. for 1, il say 10-20TiB is enough for me. 3 however is fine
1 or 3 is the best option. I'm starting to get annoyed by hosts saying Fair Use but there is no clear definition of what is considered fair. Different hosts may have different definition.
Please learn how to actually into forum, tnx.
And don't mix silly different level options together. Reasonably 1 or 2 could be provided on the same cheap offer. And 3 would cost like $100/mo. Hello? What we are deciding in the poll then?
I like trains
Many offer 1gbps at less than $100. Unless it's exotic transit
damn chill im just not so active on forums, thats why option 4 is there. i looked for feedback nothing else
I don't even see a poll
The post got edited. Initially it actually had a poll. It's better now though, trust me.
i can see that i am horrid at polls 😅 so im gonna stick to just asking questions
The poll itself was alright. It's just that you scribbled down some chopped up train of thought style options with a bunch of arrows and whatnot, which instantly caused brain herpes for everyone trying to read it.
youre right i just dont know how to do polls on here, i should probably test it on a demo installation of vanilla before next time
