Earlier quoted context omitted.

Bandwidth into both B2 and DigitalOcean is free, bandwidth OUT of them is metered (or in the case of DO you get a bucket of bandwidth to start and then it's metered past that bucket).

Also there appears to be no way in the dashboard of DO to see bandwidth usage. I don't know where they say it's metered after that, because they just slowed down the speed severely when my server went over, rendering it useless for its purpose without warning.

digital ocean charges $0.02/gb after your vm quota is used up.

fyi, amazon/google charges above $0.10/gb

Double the storage for double price. » ZXHost ( https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/85803/ ) 1TB Storage for €45 annually. Offer has ended though; but they might do it again in the f…

Wow!! I actually have a 20GB instance with Time4VPS, that I had found via an ad on LowEndTalk last year. I think I paid some Euro 9 or something for the WHOLE YEAR!! Other than an annoying glitch that causes the space allocation to drop down to 10GB instead of 20GB at random, it has been working quite well too. However, I didn't know they had had the 1TB offer - I'll put in a ticket there asking them to let me know i…

We have those offers (high volume storage servers) for some time now and they are not going to disappear.
