From: Tobias DiPasquale Date: 2001-12-07T10:19:29+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:27779] Re: web hosting When they quote figures like '20GB Transfer' and '50GB Transfer', do they mean files that you upload/download, or 20GB total of network traffic to/from that virtual server? If it's the latter, how would they be able to tell that? And what, if any, effect would that have on something like a Ruby app server? What I mean is, suppose your site gets hit for 30GB of transfer one month, but you only paid for 20; do they just stop traffic to your box, automatically bill you more, what? Any clues would be helpful. Thanks. Curt Hibbs wrote: > [ruby-talk:27776] Re: web hosting > I used to be with iserver before verio bought them.
