Read the table and chart
Each row shows a period with Data Received, Data Transmitted and Total Data. The Monthly Usage chart below shows the same numbers, with received data (RX) in blue and sent data (TX) in green.
Each period runs for about a month from the day your server was created, not from the 1st of the month. The current period’s dates are shown under the Network card on the Overview tab, for example Tue Oct 13 – Thu Nov 12.
What does ∞ mean?
∞ next to Allowance or a speed means there’s no limit on your plan. If your plan has a limit, the number is shown instead.
My traffic suddenly went up
A big jump in outbound traffic can mean a busy website, a large download, or a problem such as a hacked server sending spam. Check what’s running on your server. If you’re not sure, open a ticket.
