What are the network and disk limits per server?

Server 100 views Markdown

Every server has its own disk speed limits, and the network line is shared between servers. This is so that servers on the same machine don't slow each other down.

The values

  • Network: 1 Gbit port on a shared line.
  • Disk reads: a sustained 500 MB/s and 20,000 IOPS.
  • Disk writes: a sustained 200 MB/s and 8,000 IOPS.
  • Short bursts: for 1-second loads the disk can reach twice these values.

What does unlimited traffic mean?

There's no quota and no extra charge for the amount of traffic. How much data you move in a month isn't counted.

Sustained high traffic

If your server sends outgoing traffic at a very high speed for a long time, its speed is lowered for a while and you see this in the panel. When the time is up it goes back to its previous speed by itself. These limits are also in the service agreement.

Outgoing port 25

On new servers outgoing port 25 starts closed, and you open it with one click in the panel. The details are in sending email.

I keep hitting a limit. What can I do?

You can split the work across several servers. Scaling up adds RAM, processor and disk space, and it doesn't change the speed limits. The panel's Graphs screen shows what your server is using.
