Demon network facilities will measure and throttle your bandwidth in and out of the DVS on a second by second basis, restricting the maximum flow of traffic at your configured limit.

Bandwidth is measured from the control panel – from the same system that you can access via your control panel’s administrative section.

• Actual bandwidth Usage – Some hosts will bill you for the total transfer sent to your server and from your server. • 95th Percentile – 95th percentile disregards the top 5% of bandwidth measurements over the billing period. Thus bandwidth spikes which are short in duration are disregarded. Large attachments in an email could cause a bandwidth spike which falls into the top 5%. • Note if your hosting provider has a flat network (i.e. Does not user Dedicated VLANs) your bandwidth usage will be increased by another server on the same switch if it broadcasts data. A good example of when this happens is when a server is compromised for a virus like the SQL slammer virus.

We measure bandwidth at the port onto which your server is connected to the Public Network. This means, all traffic to and from the server is counted. When you establish a VPN connection directly to the server using our Private Network, the bandwidth accrued there is not counted.

Bandwidth is measured by polling the switch port for your server every 5 minutes to measure both the in and out bandwidth usage. WebIntellects bills by actual usage and NOT 95%. This provides you with more bandwidth for a cheaper price.
