Perhaps a stupid question, but I signed up for a linode account and I am assuming that when ones bandwidth is exceeded then all network connectivity is lost?

Some web hosting sites keep the site going, but then charge additional money per MB/GB additional transferred, but I see no reference to anything like that.

Thanks!

I remember seeing the answer to this somewhere on the site. Not quite sure where this information is now, but I recall that there's an overage charge if you exceed your allotted badwidth. I think it's $2 or $3 per GB that you're over.

Hi,

If you exceed the allocated bw, any additional bw usage would be billed at $1/gig

Really? Then what's the point in buying additional xfer every month, if the overage cost is the same as the prepaid cost?

Price breaks after 60GB. Under 60GB it's $1/gig.
