Managing Bandwidth for Your Cloud VPS
Liquid Web monitors outgoing bandwidth from your server as a way to manage resource usage (incoming traffic is not monitored or limited). While the default settings are generally appropriate for most servers, if you anticipate higher than usual traffic on your site, you may want to consider increasing the quota of outgoing traffic.
Liquid Web monitors outgoing bandwidth from your server as a way to manage resource usage (incoming traffic is not monitored or limited). When someone downloads content from your server, that is considered outgoing traffic and may be limited, depending on the service tier you are using. While the default settings are generally appropriate for most servers, if you anticipate higher than usual traffic on your site, you may want to consider increasing the quota of outgoing traffic, rather than paying overage charges. You can make these changes directly in your Liquid Web account portal.
