This actually depends on which of our core solutions you choose. Specifically, our customers have the ability to choose between General Population servers or Private Cabinet/Private Rack server configurations. One of the differences is that in the General Population servers, all inbound and outbound data transfer gets accounted for under the allowed total monthly transfer amounts per server, while in the private cabinet/private rack environments, customers can take any where from 1 up to 20 servers (depending on the size of the private cabinet/private rack solution) and have both pooled data transfer (for traffic in and out bound external to that group of servers) and have FREE data transfer among the group of servers on that private cabinet/private rack that does not count toward the in and out bound external traffic. Basically, yes, we do charge our customers for information transferred from/to their The Planet servers to/from external PC's, outside of The Planet network, but if you are also in our General Population area, we will charge for information transferred between other General Population server to/from inside server in The Planet network. I hope that makes sense and helps you out. If not, please let me know and I'm more than happy to follow up on any other questions or concerns you may have. Best Regards, Paul Hello Anna P!

Basically, yes, we do charge our customers for information transferred from/to their The Planet servers to/from external PC’s, outside of The Planet network, but if you are also in our General Population area, we will charge for information transferred between other General Population server to/from inside server in The Planet network.

I hope that makes sense and helps you out. If not, please let me know and I’m more than happy to follow up on any other questions or concerns you may have.

If you started transferring it from this server to say another server, outside of The Planet, and you wanted to do it over 30 days ….(approximately, one month), then using a nice little conversion formula (2500GB/month * 1 month/30days * 1 day/24 hours * 1 hour/60 minutes * 1 minute/60 seconds * 8 bits/1 Byte) we see that the minimum “uplink port speed” should be a 7.72 Mbps connection – a slower than 10Mbps link connection, which was the old de-facto standard that we used to use for connecting PCs and servers to LANs. But this gives you an idea of how your decision in “uplink port speed” can be directly proportional to how quickly you need to do business”. Does it mean you charge your customers only for information transferring from/to their The Planet servers to/from external PCs, outside of The Planet network? Hello Paul,
