About Linode VPS host traffic limit and explanation of exceeded traffic

Snail usually helps netizens purchase Linode VPS hosting products, but usually they open sub-accounts. The best suggestion is to use your own credit card. If you don’t have a credit card, you can apply for a prepaid card such as Payoneer and have your own independent account. After all, Independent accounts are much more comfortable from the user's psychological point of view. If the holder of the sub-account fails one day, we will not be able to renew the account.

At the beginning of this month, a netizen friend of the Snail sub-account had used up his 2TB traffic of the 1GB plan in 4 days (actually used 2160GB). I don’t know what this friend used it for. , it’s overspending anyway. For those who exceed the traffic limit of Linode VPS, many friends may have questions about whether the account will be restricted after exceeding the limit, and whether additional payment is required. The snail explains below.

First, is there any charge for traffic exceeding the Linode VPS regulations?

If you exceed your monthly bandwidth quota, your account will be billed for $0.10/GB at the end of the current month.

We can see the official explanation. If the traffic exceeds 160GB, the fee will be calculated as $0.10/GB. If the friend exceeds 160GB, he will need to pay a fee of 16 dollars. Therefore, we must control the traffic we use.

Second, how to calculate Linode VPS account traffic

We can see in the account that although the VPS traffic of each 1GB plan is 2T per month, the calculation is based on the entire account. For example, the Snail account has 3 machines, with a total of 6TB (for example, No. 10 The activated machine has only 20 days of traffic, so we think it is less than 6B). If one of our accounts exceeds 2TB, the remaining traffic of the total account will be used first, and then the fee will be deducted after the entire account is overrun.

Third, how to solve the problem of Linode VPS traffic loss

If we are running a certain service, it may take up a lot of traffic. This is for our own use. If we do not have a website with large traffic and do not run a service, it may be due to other problems that cause traffic loss. For example, we need to control the references to external resources, whether downloaded resources are downloaded, and are attacked, etc.

In short, in our Linode account, if there is an email reminder, we need to see what the problem is and provide a certain solution.
