I read twelve Terms of Service documents so you do not have to. Contabo: "unlimited bandwidth" means 2 TB then they "review" your account. OVHcloud: "unlimited domains" but each must have "substantial original content" which they define nowhere. Vultr: "unlimited email accounts" limited to 500 MB per box, found in Acceptable Use not the pricing page. Hetzner: "unlimited databases" capped at 2 GB each, buried in section 14.3. InterServer: "unlimited support tickets" but they throttle responses after ten per month. Hostinger: "unlimited FTP accounts" with a concurrent connection limit of three. RackNerd: "unlimited subdomains" requires DNS hosted with them. GreenCloudVPS: "unlimited everything" has a 25,000 inode limit they do not mention until suspension. HostHatch: "unlimited" only applies to off-peak hours, defined as 2 AM to 5 AM s

reported. resolved. repeat.

BGP on v4 only. V6 "unlimited" at three providers = no v6. Peering. Transit pricing for overage at CloudCone = tier-1 joke. Rt to their cfg shows fw dropping packets at 2TB exactly. Nice catch.

Contabo "review" = instant suspension. No warning. 3 tickets open. No response in 72 hours. 2nd account same fate. Numbers dont lie.

This is why we specify redundant feeds and N+1 on all enterprise-grade commitments. "Unlimited" without SLA-backed definitions is just marketing. Our sales team can walk you through actual resource allocations. Location is flexible depending on deployment.

A $35 thin client and docker compose with Caddy as your reverse proxy gets you honest limits. You control the ToS. My compose file has fifteen services and I know exactly what each uses. No inode games. No "spirit of fair use." Just actual numbers on actual hardware you can touch.

my cloud. my rules. my 3AM alerts.
