The port ladder
| Port | Per month | Per Gbps |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Gbps | included | — |
| 2 Gbps | $189 | $94.50 |
| 3 Gbps | $299 | $99.67 |
| 5 Gbps | $459 | $91.80 |
| 10 Gbps | $529 | $52.90 |
| 20 Gbps | $1,629 | $81.45 |
| 40 Gbps | $2,799 | $69.98 |
| 100 Gbps | $3,999 | $39.99 |
Going from 5 to 10 Gbps adds $70 a month; going from 10 to 20 Gbps adds $1,100. The 10 Gbps rung works out at $52.90 per Gbps, and the table shows the same figure for every other speed. Pay 3, 6 or 12 months ahead for up to 15% off.
Every machine before any port upgrade is on the price list. Processors, memory and disks are priced one by one on the custom server page.
The port
A dedicated server with a 10Gbps port nobody else uses
You rent one 10GBASE‑SR transceiver in one SFP+ cage on one switch port, and your server is the only thing behind it. It is not a share of an uplink, a burst allowance on a gigabit port, or a 10 Gbps line rate with a 20 TB ceiling attached.
Our tools address every server by switch and port index. Ask us for yours and we will give you both.
Unmetered, checked
10Gbps unmetered dedicated server: what we mean by unmetered
Most providers selling 10 Gbps write “10 Gbps unmetered”, and the phrase covers very different contracts. These are the five questions worth putting to any of them, with our answers next to the usual ones.
An objection a customer sent us
“Another provider wrote to us today that a genuinely unshared 10 Gbps port held at 90–100 percent around the clock cannot exist at this price, and that whoever sells it that cheap is leaning on a shared uplink or a fair-use clause. If there is a threshold, or a monthly volume, name the number. We will plan around a number; we cannot plan around a surprise.”
Our answer was that there is no number. A reseller prices transit it buys from someone else and adds a margin. We run our own network and routers, so the port is capacity we already own.
What the terms do reserve
Section 10 of the terms of service lets us act on usage that threatens platform stability or poses a security risk. That is an abuse clause. It names no volume, and it has never produced a bandwidth charge.
Metered 10 Gbps elsewhere
Hetzner includes 20 TB a month with a 10G uplink and bills each terabyte after that. Leaseweb meters its standard builds at 30 TB. Our Hetzner and Leaseweb comparisons list their published figures with the date we read them.
Sizing
Do you need a 10Gbps server, or is 1 Gbps enough?
For most servers 1 Gbps is enough, and it comes with every machine at no charge. Only 1.9 percent of our live accounts run 10 Gbps. The difference shows at the peak, not over the month.
One payload, two ports
Line-rate arithmetic, not a benchmark: 1 Gbps moves 125 MB a second, 10 Gbps moves 1.25 GB. Real transfers land under both figures.
| At line rate | 1 Gbps | 10 Gbps |
|---|---|---|
| 1 TB file | 2 h 13 min | 13 min 20 s |
| 20 TB dataset | 1 d 20 h | 4 h 27 min |
| 1 hour at line rate | 450 GB | 4.5 TB |
| 1 day at line rate | 10.8 TB | 108 TB |
| 30 days at line rate | 324 TB | 3,240 TB |
Choose 10 Gbps when the peak is the job
- Live events and launches, where the audience arrives in the same ten minutes.
- Software and game patch days, and release windows.
- An origin server filling a CDN cache.
- Backups and replication that must finish inside a fixed window.
- Any workload where per-terabyte billing has become a number you forecast every month.
Stay on 1 Gbps when
You move 10 or 20 TB a month, which a 1 Gbps port carries with room to spare. Or you are chasing latency: a wider port does not shorten the path, and the city you choose does. Upgrading later is a change on the switch, on the same server with the same addresses, so starting at 1 Gbps costs you nothing.
Hardware
Can a 10Gbps bare metal server fill its port?
Only if storage, cores and memory keep up. Ten gigabits is 1.25 GB a second arriving at your disks and processors. When they cannot produce it, the switch is not what limits you.
150
MB/s from one hard disk
About a tenth of the port. Serving a cold catalogue from spinning disks never reaches line rate. NVMe storage fixes that, a wider port does not.
MB/s the port carries
Reachable from NVMe or page cache with many parallel connections. One scp session on one core will not get there.
32 GB
Memory as a starting point
On a busy origin the page cache does most of the serving. We would start at 8 cores and 32 GB, and the machine table above goes up from there.
Locations and support
Five cities, one network, and a chat that answers
We lease space in carrier-neutral buildings run by Digital Realty and Iron Mountain, plus a facility in Bucharest built to our own design. The servers, switches and routing inside them are ours, on AS19624.
Support
Open the chat and an AI assistant replies within seconds. It can look up your account and the server itself, and an engineer takes the conversation as soon as you ask for one.
On the included Basic plan we respond within 12 hours and replace failed hardware within 24 hours. Paid plans shorten both:
| Plan | Response | Hardware swap | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 12 hours | 24 hours | included |
| Bronze | 4 hours | 4 hours | $19 |
| Silver | 2 hours | 3 hours | $39 |
| Gold | 1 hour | 2 hours | $69 |
| Platinum | 30 minutes | 2 hours | $99 |
Prices for the rack and blade lines. Cartridge plans cost less and are listed on the order page.
Delivery
About 30 minutes once payment is approved when the machine is already racked, and 4 to 24 hours when it is built to order. The port is set during the same build. Payment and fraud review come first, and that is the part that varies.
Service credits
Under the service level agreement (PDF), network credit starts after 15 consecutive minutes and pays one day of the monthly charge for each cumulative hour, up to one month.

FAQ
10Gbps dedicated server questions
How much does a 10Gbps dedicated server cost?
The 10 Gbps unmetered port is $529 a month, added to the machine you choose. The cheapest complete build is $557.59 a month with the port included, and the cheapest rack or blade server comes to $580.86. A configured server also pays a one-time setup fee, listed per machine in the table above and on the order page before you pay.
What is the cheapest 10Gbps dedicated server?
The cheapest complete build is $557.59 a month, port included: X-Gene Octa-Core ARM v8 64-bit · 32 GB DDR3 · 1 × SATA-SSD 120 GB (HPE Moonshot m400 cartridge). It is a small machine. To push close to line rate, look at the rack and blade servers, which start at $580.86 with the same port.
Is the 10Gbps port really unmetered?
Yes. No transfer allowance is attached to the port and no overage price exists. None of the 22 accounts on a 10 Gbps port today has a traffic allowance, and not one of the 790,586 invoice lines in our billing history is a bandwidth overage charge. Section 10 of the terms covers abuse that threatens platform stability or security; it names no volume.
Is the 10Gbps port shared with other customers?
No. Your server has its own switch port at 10 Gbps and nothing else is behind it. Ask us for the switch and the port index and we will tell you.
How much data can a 10Gbps server transfer in a month?
Held at line rate for 30 days, about 3,240 TB. 10 Gbps is 1.25 GB per second, so a 1 TB file takes 13 minutes 20 seconds. A 1 Gbps port moves about 324 TB in the same month.
Do I need 10Gbps, or is 1Gbps enough?
1 Gbps is enough for most servers: only 1.9 percent of our live accounts run 10 Gbps. Choose 10 Gbps when the peak matters, such as live events, software releases, an origin feeding a CDN, or backups that must finish inside a window. Moving up later is a switch change on the same server, not a migration.
Which servers can take a 10Gbps port?
14 of our 18 configurable lines: Moonshot cartridges, AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon blades, four-socket blades, AMD EPYC and Ampere Altra servers. The port is the same price on all of them, which works out at $52.90 per Gbps.
Can a server fill a 10Gbps port?
Only if storage, cores and memory keep up. 10 Gbps is 1,250 MB/s and one hard disk delivers around 150 MB/s, so serve from NVMe or page cache and use many parallel connections. Plan on 8 cores and 32 GB of memory as a starting point.
How fast is a 10Gbps dedicated server delivered?
About 30 minutes once payment is approved when the machine is already racked, and 4 to 24 hours when it is built to order. The port is set during the same build. Payment and fraud review come first and are the part that varies.
Where are your 10Gbps servers located?
New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Bucharest, on our own network, AS19624. The price table shows in how many of the five cities each machine is offered.
Can I upgrade my current server to 10Gbps?
Yes, if its line takes the port. The change is made on the switch, on the same server with the same IP addresses, so nothing is reinstalled. Ask in chat or open a ticket.
