What is an unmetered dedicated server? Why should you consider unmetered dedicated hosting? Dedicated server hosting brings many advantages over shared hosting options, and for many businesses, unlimited, unmetered bandwidth really does save money and provides peace of mind in the long run.
What is an unmetered server?
Unmetered dedicated servers are servers that do not have a limit on the amount of monthly bandwidth you can use. Bandwidth is the amount of data you can transfer to and from your server. Unmetered servers allow you to use as much bandwidth as you want without worrying about extra fees.

How to choose an unmetered server?
Before choosing your unmetered server hosting provider, ask the host about the network's quality for content streaming. Ensure it's optimized for streaming content. Also, note the server's 'uplink capacity' or 'bandwidth port' for data speeds. Text sites need minimal bandwidth, but media-rich ones, especially video streaming, demand more.

Unmetered Bandwidth FAQ
Each server has a True-Unmetered bandwidth plan. On a True-Unmetered 5 Gbps plan, your usage for the calendar month must stay at or below 5 Gbps (per 95th percentile billing).
Here's how it's measured: your server's traffic is sampled every five minutes throughout the month. At the end of the month, the top 5% of those readings are discarded. The highest remaining sample is your 95th percentile. As long as that number is within your plan, there are no extra charges and nothing else to pay.
In practice, this means that short-lived traffic spikes, live events, and large transfers won't cost you extra as long as your sustained usage stays within plan.
Your plan limit — say 5 Gbps on a True-Unmetered 5 Gbps plan — is the 95th percentile ceiling your monthly usage must stay beneath. Your physical dedicated port is often set higher, for example - 10 Gbps.
If your usage exceeds your plan's threshold, you'll need to upgrade your bandwidth plan. Upgrading is straightforward and takes effect immediately. Bandwidth plan changes are not prorated
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Changes take effect immediately — no waiting period and no disruption to your server. Bandwidth plan changes are not prorated.
