Hi,
I only realised some days ago that Hetzner changed the traffic policy since a while:
http://www.hetzner.de/rootserver_en.html
Traffic Usage is for free. We will restrict the connection speed to 10 MBit/s if 1000 GB/month are exceeded. You can request an activation for 250 GB at a time free of charge in your Hetzner administration interface.
Thanks for the info Marcus. I'm not sure I understand this.
1. I'm assuming the default/current connection speed is greater than 10 MBit/s, 100MBit/s? I wonder if we are likely to notice a performance difference if we exceed the threshold.
2. What is the meaning of the activation for 250 GB in the second sentence? Does this mean the traffic usage is free but we still have to watch it and manually request more? Or does that request more above the 1000 GB/Month that triggers the connection speed decrease resulting in the connection speed returning to normal?
At any rate this certainly does sound like good news. Thanks!
Ken
This means we can put with no problem stuff like the CD image and the Squeak/Smalltalk Videos on ftp.squeak.org.
