Usually servers are "serving" traffic, that's outbound.
Resulting in a lot of inbound capacity left unused, so it is a good advertising solution for data centers to offer free inbound traffic.
I hope this makes sense for you.
what if the server is used as VPN/proxy?
does that mean they'll kick those users?
VPN uses inbound traffic to fetch data from the internet? right?
will they get kicked? or get slow connection?
Most clients are hosting web sites or are making outbound traffic.
This dose not mean that VPN/Proxy clients will not be allowed.
Inbound traffic is also much cheaper then outgoing one. Unless you will affect on other customers in same rack you have nothing to be worried about ;)
ok.. so it will be a good idea to host vpn on those servers that offers free inbound traffic? :D
I'm just worrying that those server providers would have slow inbound traffic
I doubt there is any host that throttles inbound.
Web hosts buy traffic full duplex, i.e. a 1gbps port can do 1gbps in both directions. Most traffic from a hosting provider is outbound from the servers to the internet, leaving tons of available capacity in the other direction.
Even for a vpn / proxy, the inbound is going to be about as much as the outbound, so even if you had a bunch of proxy users, you're still not going to run out of inbound traffic capacity. So yes, if you're doing a VPN or proxy, you should definitely go with a provider that offers free inbound traffic.
i see.. thanks :)
This is only a marketing approche, you will be limited by the outbound traffic.
what does "Full Flat Rate 100 Mbps" mean?
You can use it all up 24/7, no bandwidth overage.
what to do with that inbond traffic, just do your work it should not be affected any how.
