| FAQ
How do I choose a port speed?
Match it to traffic—1Gbps for moderate use, 10Gbps+ for heavy loads like streaming. Test your needs first. Providers often guide this.
Can I host multiple sites on an unmetered dedicated server?
Yes, with root access, you can host unlimited sites if resources allow. Traffic and hardware determine feasibility. It’s fully customizable.
Is security included with unmetered dedicated servers?
Most offer SSL, DDoS protection, and firewalls, but specifics differ. You may need to configure extras. Check provider defaults.
What’s the difference between unmetered and unlimited bandwidth?
Unmetered has no data cap at a fixed speed; unlimited may cap speed but not data. Unmetered is clearer for dedicated servers. Terms vary by provider.
Can I upgrade my bandwidth later?
Most providers allow port upgrades (e.g., 1Gbps to 10Gbps). Check scalability terms upfront. Some require new plans or hardware.
Are unmetered dedicated servers more expensive?
Yes, they’re pricier than shared hosting but vary widely—$50 to $500+/month. Cost reflects hardware, port speed, and management. Budget options exist.
Who needs a dedicated server with unmetered bandwidth?
High-traffic sites, streamers, e-commerce stores, and developers benefit most. It suits projects needing power and unlimited data. Small blogs may not require it.
How fast is unmetered bandwidth?
Speed depends on the port—1Gbps, 10Gbps, etc.—not the “unmetered” label. Higher ports handle more data faster. Choose based on your site’s needs.
