How To Purchase Additional Bandwidth For Your Virtual Dedicated/Dedicated Server
Bandwidth is a measurement of the amount of data allowed to pass between a user’s Web site and the rest of the Internet.
You can add bandwidth to your server plan as a recurring billing service.
To purchase additional bandwidth:
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- From the My Products section, select Servers.
- Click on the appropriate server account name. The right pane should refresh.
- Expand Other Add-ons and scroll down to the value you wish to modify: Total Bandwidth.
- Check the Total Bandwidth section and choose the amount of bandwidth you would like to allocate to the server.
- Click Continue to proceed to the checkout process.
Additional bandwidth is available for Windows and Linux virtual dedicated/dedicated servers. The installation process is automated and can take up to 30 minutes. No downtime is required.
See How To Review Your Virtual Dedicated/Dedicated Server's Bandwidth Usage for the instruction necessary to view your server's bandwidth usage.
NOTE:If you exceed your bandwidth allotment, you will be subjected to bandwidth overage charges.
Bandwidth Overage Protection shields you from bandwidth overage charges by automatically suspending your account when its allotted bandwidth is exceeded. Reinstatement occurs at the start of your next billing cycle or when additional bandwidth is purchased.
