10 Gbps unmetered
10 Gbps unmetered, on every dedicated server.
No quota, no overage, no 95th-percentile billing and no ratio. Your port runs at 10 Gbps around the clock, and your invoice never changes.

The definition
What “unmetered” means here, word for word.
No transfer quota, no overage fee, no 95th-percentile billing and no inbound/outbound ratio: we never count or bill your traffic. Every server has its own 10 Gbps port, not shared with anyone else, and you can run it hard around the clock. As on any network, the uplinks beyond your port are shared, so real-world throughput also depends on the route to the other end. We only step in on traffic that harms the network (attacks, packet floods, abuse) and, unless an attack is in progress, we contact you first.
- No quota. There is no number of terabytes to stay under.
- No overage. Nothing is billed on top of the server price, ever.
- No 95th percentile. Peaks do not cost more than valleys.
- No ratio. Inbound and outbound are both free, in any proportion.
- Your own port. 10 Gbps between your server and the switch, shared with no one.
Scale
What 10 Gbps adds up to.
Theoretical maximums at 100% of line rate. Real transfers run a little lower because of protocol overhead and the path to the other end.

Billing models
Unmetered vs the alternatives.
Hosting providers bill bandwidth in four main ways. Only one of them never grows with your traffic.
| Model | How it is billed | When you use a lot | Common at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metered | A monthly quota, then a price per extra GB or TB | The bill grows with every terabyte | Clouds, many VPS hosts |
| 95th percentile | Traffic sampled every 5 minutes; the top 5% is ignored, the rest sets the price | Sustained peaks cost more | Colocation, IP transit |
| “Unlimited” | No stated quota, but a vague fair-use clause | Throttled, or asked to upgrade | Budget hosts |
| Unmetered port | A flat price; the port speed is the only limit | Nothing changes: run it at full speed | PowerDedi, on every server |

Cloud figure: AWS internet egress list prices for us-east-1 (first 100 GB free, then $0.09 down to $0.05 per GB), checked September 2026. Server count assumes a 60% average load on each 10 Gbps port to leave room for peaks. Large CDN contracts can cost less than list prices.

FAQ
Unmetered, explained.
Still have a question? Customers with an active server get answers from engineers in a support ticket.
Support ticketsIs there a fair-use limit on traffic?
No traffic quota and no fair-use cap. The only traffic we act on is traffic that harms the network or others: attacks, packet floods and abuse. Unless an attack is in progress, we contact you before doing anything.
Will I really get 10 Gbps?
Your port runs at 10 Gbps and is yours alone. Throughput to one destination also depends on the networks in between and on TCP tuning: test with several parallel streams to nearby targets to see the port’s capacity. How to test
Is inbound traffic free too?
Yes. Both directions are unmetered and there is no inbound/outbound ratio, so download-heavy and upload-heavy workloads are treated the same.
Can I run the port at full speed around the clock?
Yes. Sustained use is what the port is for: node syncs, streaming, backups and downloads can run at line rate 24/7.
Do you throttle heavy users?
No. We never shape legitimate traffic. During an attack we may filter traffic to the targeted IP or, if an attack threatens the network, null-route it temporarily.
What if I need more than 10 Gbps?
Add servers in the same or other cities, each with its own 10 Gbps port.
