Sustained 45 TB from one VM? Different question.

Not a VM. AX42 dedicated. 64 threads, I was saturating 1 Gbps with video encoding output. Hetzner cloud would have melted. Dedicated is where "unmetered" lives.

Ah dedicated! I look at cloud only. Maybe cloud have limit and dedicated no limit?

#23

Cloud has soft limit, dedicated has AUP limit. The difference is one you can measure and one you can argue about in a ticket.

I have 3 Hetzner cloud instances, 12 Contabo VPS, rest scattered. Hetzner cloud CX11 hit 8 TB once, no issue. Contabo Seattle node crashed twice under same load. You get what you pay for except when you don't.

seedbox, NAS, tape, and three offsite

Following this. I am deciding between Hetzner cloud and Vultr for a seedbox-ish project.

I think Hetzner's AUP has something about file sharing platforms. Vultr does not care until abuse complaint. Different risk profile.

#27

Not that kind. Linux ISO mirror for a university club. Legal but bandwidth heavy.

#28

Linux ISO mirror is exactly what Hetzner's AUP covers, from memory — they don't allow file sharing platforms. I would not risk it. OVHcloud or a real CDN like Bunny or KeyCDN.
