Length of Subscription
Other VPS hosts meter your bandwidth. We don’t.
Most providers hand you a transfer allowance, then bill you per gigabyte the moment you exceed it — so a traffic spike becomes a surprise invoice. DreamHost doesn’t meter bandwidth at all.
is what 10 TB of monthly transfer costs on AWS Lightsail (USD). On a DreamHost Self-Managed VPS, the same 10 TB costs $0.
| Provider | Bandwidth | Overage rate | Cost at 10 TB/mo | Cost at 50 TB/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DreamHost | Unmetered | No overage | $0 | $0 |
| AWS Lightsail | Metered | $0.09/GB | $810 | $4,410 |
| DigitalOcean | Metered | $0.01/GB | $90 | $490 |
| Vultr | Metered | $0.01/GB | $75 | $475 |
| Linode / Akamai | Metered | $0.005/GB | $45 | $245 |
No transfer caps, no overage fees, no surprise invoice when your traffic spikes — fair use applies.
Competitor figures are each provider's publicly listed overage rates as of June 2026, for outbound transfer beyond each provider's included transfer allowance (plan plus any account-level free-transfer grant); figures in USD. DreamHost Self-Managed VPS includes unmetered bandwidth with no per-GB or per-TB overage charges, subject to terms.
