Bandwidth Billing

At Elestio, we're committed to transparency and simplicity when it comes to billing. One area where we often receive questions is bandwidth usage, especially what happens after your allocated free bandwidth is exceeded. This post will walk you through how bandwidth billing works on Elestio, depending on the cloud provider and region you're using.


🔍 Understanding Bandwidth Allocation

Every Elestio service comes with a generous amount of free bandwidth included in your service plan. This is usually sufficient for most typical workloads. However, if your usage exceeds this free allocation, additional bandwidth usage will be billed separately based on your cloud provider and region.
