Dedicated server bandwidth

By default, all Fornex dedicated servers are equipped with a 1 Gbps network port operating under a Fair Use policy.

What is Fair Use?

The Fair Use policy is designed to ensure a stable and high-quality network environment for all clients within our data centers. It allows us to distribute bandwidth fairly, preventing any single user from negatively impacting the connectivity of others.

How it works in practice:

• Peak Speeds: Your connection can reach up to 1 Gbps for bursts and standard operations.
• Dynamic Management: Short bursts of high traffic (such as visitor spikes or large updates) typically occur at full speed.
• Infrastructure Protection: In cases of sustained, high-intensity load that threatens to saturate shared uplinks, speeds may be moderated to a guaranteed baseline (typically around 100 Mbps).
• Sustainability: Continuous 24/7 utilization at maximum capacity is better suited for a dedicated bandwidth plan rather than the standard Fair Use port.

Guaranteed bandwidth options

For projects requiring consistent, high-throughput performance without the fluctuations of a Fair Use model, we offer Guaranteed Bandwidth up to 10 Gbps (currently available in our Germany location).

• Pricing: €200 per month for every 1 Gbps of dedicated, non-shared bandwidth.

To upgrade to a guaranteed line, please mention it in your order notes or open a support ticket.

Recommendations for success

• Most Projects: A standard 1 Gbps Fair Use port is more than sufficient for high-traffic websites, databases, and standard applications.
• Heavy Workloads: If your project involves constant high-load activities—such as high-definition streaming, large-scale file sharing, or CDN nodes—we strongly recommend a guaranteed bandwidth plan.
• Stay Informed: Use the traffic monitoring tools in your control panel to track your actual consumption and performance trends.
