If you do 200Mbps on a hetzner server after cloudflare caching, you are going to run out of traffic pretty rapidly. The limit is 20TB / month (which you’d reach in roughly 9 days).


You are probably talking about VMs - those do have traffic limits. Servers, on the other side, with default 1Gbit NICs doesn't (let's say until you consume 80%+ of bandwidth for months)

Quoting:

> Traffic

>All root servers have a dedicated 1 GBit uplink by default and with it unlimited traffic. Inclusive monthly traffic for servers with 10G uplink is 20TB. There is no bandwidth limitation. We will charge € 1 ($1.20)/TB for overusage.


Huh, this must have changed after I concluded my contract with them (several years ago).

Huh, archive.org tells me its been unlimited since at least 5 years ago, so I guess I must’ve just seen someone mention 20TB and felt it was a reasonsble limit :)


One would think services like these do not have to rely on online services and have their own rack of servers. Or is this so alien these days?


Small addition: That limit applies to Hetzner Cloud servers, their dedicated servers have unlimited traffic.


Depends on your connection I think. Mine do 1Gbit/sec but have a 20TB limit. The 100Mbit ones are unlimited (last I checked)


Yes, it does. 1 GBit/s dedicated servers have unlimited traffic, 10 GBit/s have 20 TB of traffic included. I'm not aware of a 100 MBit/s offer. Not sure which offer you are using but it sounds like a Hetzner cloud server not a dedicated server.
