Data Transfer

On GoGrid, data transfer is measured in gigabytes. There are no charges for data transfer between servers over the private network within a single data center. There are also no costs associated with inbound transfer going to your servers. You will only be charged based on your outbound transfer. Because all inbound data is free, data transfer charges are not charged until you turn the virtual server on and send data.

Features

Types of Transfer Usage

There are several types of transfer that are tracked:

• Inbound transfer – Data transfer from the internet to your network. There is no charge for this type of connection. All inbound data is free.
• Outbound transfer – Data transfer charges are not charged until you turn the virtual server on and send data over the public space, including your bandwidth used to log into the system remotely. If you're using remote desktop to manage Windows or SSH for Linux, you are being charged for that bandwidth leaving your server. When your system is offline, you are not paying for data transfer.
• Private network transfer – Data transfer between services within a given data center. There is no cost associated with private network transfer on GoGrid.
• DC-to-DC private network transfer – Customers that require a private network connection between data centers can purchase CloudLink. CloudLink is a redundant private network connection between data centers, allowing for unmetered traffic between sites. Monthly pricing is based on bandwidth speed.

CloudLink

CloudLink lets customers have a direct connection between GoGrid's data centers. GoGrid customers that purchase CloudLink take advantage of a redundant, private, dedicated connection, which means fewer hops and less conflict with other traffic. CloudLink is an unmetered product; users can push any amount of traffic they wish. Customers are charged only for the bandwidth speed they desire and may purchase multiple instances of these links.
