sustained bandwidth calculations
Each plan is allotted a specified
amount of total data transfer per month. We also allow each plan to
utilize unlimited peak bandwidth for short durations, however, we do not allow
unlimited sustained bandwidth utilization for durations greater than
those periods specified below.
Log Analysis reports cannot calculate
your sustained bandwidth usage. All
sustained bandwidth calculations are calculated using data polled on our
Cisco hardware
once every five (5) minutes.
Sustained bandwidth charges are
based solely on your
sustained bandwidth use during your sites peak usage. If your site
does not sustain bandwidth use above your plans allotted sustained
bandwidth for a specified duration, your actual bandwidth will be
based solely on your total data transferred for the month.
For example, if you have an
ASP VDH account, you are allotted 60 gigabyte of data transfer
per month. The total sustained utilization for this plan is
calculated at 192kb/sec.
You may utilize our bandwidth to burst to much higher speeds,
such as the full capability of your DSL or cable modem, for short
durations. This allows you and your visitors to transfer information very
quickly, however, a large number of simultaneous users will likely keep your
sustained bandwidth level much higher than your plans allotted bandwidth for
a specified duration.
This will most likely cause you to incur bandwidth
charges.
Bandwidth charges apply when
your sustained bandwidth utilization exceeds your plans allotted sustained
bandwidth for a specified duration. Sustained bandwidth durations
are specified as follows:
Sustained Bandwidth >
Plan Bandwidth > 15 minutes x 8 intervals per day
Sustained Bandwidth > Plan Bandwidth > 30 minutes x
4 intervals per day
Sustained Bandwidth >
Plan Bandwidth > 60 minutes x 2 intervals per day
Sustained Bandwidth > Plan
Bandwidth > 120 minutes x 1 interval per day

Our bandwidth rate is
currently calculated at $195/mo per Mbit/sec. For example, if you have a VDH plan
which allows a sustained bandwidth of 192kb/sec, and your site
sustains 512kb/sec for 30 minutes or longer 4 times in a single day, your total bandwidth charges would be as
follows:

In this scenario, your total
bandwidth charges for the month would be $60.94. It is calculated
by taking the total sustained bandwidth and subtracting the
allotted sustained bandwidth, then dividing the difference by a
single unit of measurement, one megabit per second, then multiplying
the fraction of the used bandwidth times the unit price cost for
bandwidth. We are not in the business of making money on bandwidth,
therefore our bandwidth rates are marked up only $35 above our
cost. This nominal markup just covers our cost for monitoring,
calculating and billing high bandwidth users.
Sites that do not sustain
bandwidth usage above their allotted usage for at least the durations
specified above are not subject to bandwidth charges above their
plan rate unless they exceed the allotted monthly transfer. If you
exceed the allotted monthly transfer, you must pay the difference
between your current plan and the next higher
plan. |
