of data your server sends and receives. This is usage, not a bill - bandwidth is unmetered on Zeros Host plans.
Most hosting providers count both upload and download. This estimate assumes symmetric traffic.
How this is calculated
- 1GMod sends approximately 700 bytes per player per tick.
- 2Upload and download are treated as equal (symmetric traffic), so the figure is doubled.
- 350% utilisation halves the total for typical server load patterns.
- 4The +15% download overhead covers map transfers, workshop, and FastDL.
- 5Monthly total uses 30 days and the configured hours-per-day.
