Your traffic has to arrive at one address
A stream origin, an update server or an API your customers already point at. Splitting that across four servers means a load balancer or DNS tricks in front, and one more thing that can break.
Unmetered 40 Gbps port
40Gbps dedicated server with a port nobody else shares
A 40Gbps dedicated server is a whole machine wired to its own 40 Gbps port. On ours the port is not shared with any other customer at the access switch, and nothing meters it, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one. You can have one built from $2,872.47 a month, complete, in 5 cities.
You pick the processors, memory and disks in the configurator, pay monthly, and leave when any month ends.

01The honest sum
One 40 Gbps server or four at 10 Gbps?
Four smaller servers still cost less, by $462.59 a month. That makes one big port 19% dearer than spreading the same bandwidth over four machines. Here is the sum, so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
| Per month | One server at 40 Gbps | Four servers at 10 Gbps |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | $73.47 | $293.884 × $73.47 |
| Ports | $2,799 | $2,1164 × $529 |
| Total | $2,872.47 | $2,409.88 |
| Systems to look after | One | Four |
02When one port wins
What the extra money buys you
Four machines are cheaper on paper. One 40Gbit server is often cheaper to live with. It is the better buy when any of these is true for you.
You want one copy of the data
Four servers need four copies of your video library or download files, kept in step. One server holds one set, and a new file is live the moment you upload it.
Nobody wants to run a small fleet
One system to patch, back up and watch. If your team is one or two people, the hours saved each month can be worth more than the difference in price.
03The servers
Two server lines make a 40G unmetered server
Out of the 18 server lines in our configurator, these two take a 40 Gbps port. Each price below is that line's cheapest complete build with the port added. Only the Intel Xeon Silver / Gold line goes on to 100 Gbps, so pick it if you might need that later.
Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4
$2,872.47 a month with 40 Gbps
- Cores, up to28
- Memory, up to1 TB
- Entry buildIntel Xeon E5-2620 v4 Octo Core 2.10 GHz · 32 GB DDR4 · 2 × SATA 500 GB (RAID 1)
Intel Xeon Silver / Gold
$2,882.67 a month with 40 Gbps
- Cores, up to40
- Memory, up to1 TB
- Entry buildIntel Xeon Silver 4110 8 Core 2.10 GHz · 16 GB DDR4 · 2 × SATA-SSD 240 GB (RAID 1)
04Price per gigabit
What a gigabit costs at each port size
One machine, priced with every port it can take, so only the port changes from row to row. The last column divides the monthly total by the gigabits you get.
| Port | Port per month | Server and port | Per gigabit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Gbps | $529 | $612.67 | $61.27 |
| 20 Gbps | $1,629 | $1,712.67 | $85.63 |
| 40 Gbps | $2,799 | $2,882.67 | $72.07 |
| 100 Gbps | $3,999 | $4,082.67 | $40.83 |
Going from 20 to 40 Gbps adds $1,170 a month and doubles the bandwidth, so a gigabit drops from $85.63 to $72.07. The lowest price per gigabit we sell is at 100 Gbps, $40.83.
05Getting the speed
Four things that decide whether you fill 40 Gbps
Ordering the port is the easy part. Plan for these before you move your traffic over.
- 01
Lots of viewers at once
Forty gigabits fill up when hundreds or thousands of people download or watch at the same time. A single file copy will not get close, because the far end and the distance slow it down first.
- 02
Enough machine behind the port
Serving this much traffic keeps processors and disks busy. Fast drives and enough memory to cache your most popular files matter as much as the network card.
- 03
The right city
Put the server near the people you serve. Our looking glass runs ping and traceroute from our network to any address, so you can check the route to your audience before you order.
- 04
Room to grow
If you are not sure you need 40 Gbps yet, start on one of these two lines with a smaller port. Both sell every port size up to 40 Gbps, so you stay on hardware that can take the bigger port later.

Bandwidth Pricing
See how we compare to our competition
*Competitor figures are what each provider's own published price list charges for that much outbound traffic to the internet in a month, with its free allowance deducted: AWS (US East), Google Cloud (Premium Tier, from Iowa) and Azure (North America), read on 29 September 2026. None of the three sells an unmetered port.
Our figures come from the order catalogue. Every server ships with an unmetered port, so traffic itself is never billed; a 1 Gbps port is included on most lines and sold as an upgrade on the rest, and the chart shows the upgrade price.

08Questions
40 Gbps dedicated server questions
01How much does a 40Gbps dedicated server cost?
The 40 Gbps port is $2,799 a month. With the cheapest complete machine that takes it, the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 line, the total is $2,872.47 a month. More cores, memory or disks add to that, and the configurator shows the price as you choose. A one-time setup fee of $29 comes on top, shown before you pay.
02Is it cheaper to buy four 10 Gbps servers instead?
Yes, at today's prices four servers at 10 Gbps cost $2,409.88 a month, against $2,872.47 for one at 40 Gbps. One server is still worth it when your traffic must reach a single address, when you want one copy of your files, or when nobody has time to run four machines and a load balancer.
03What does unmetered mean on a 40 Gbps port?
We do not count your traffic. You pay the monthly price of the server and its port, with no data allowance to run out of and no overage bill. Your limit is the port itself, 40 Gbps, and the port is not shared with any other customer at the access switch.
04Where can I get a 40Gbit server?
The cheapest line that takes the port is built in New York, Bucharest, San Francisco, Miami and Amsterdam. 2 of our 18 server lines offer 40 Gbps today, and the configurator lists the cities for each one.
05Will one download run at 40 Gbps?
Almost never, on any provider. A single transfer is held back by the other end, the distance and the protocol long before it reaches the port. A 40 Gbps port pays off when many people download or watch at the same time.
06Can I start smaller and move up to 40 Gbps later?
Start on one of the two lines that take 40 Gbps and you can. A 1 Gbps port is included on the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 line, and every bigger size up to 40 Gbps is in the configurator. To keep 100 Gbps open as well, choose the Intel Xeon Silver / Gold line.
07Why is there no 60 or 80 Gbps option?
The configurator sells set port sizes, and on our widest server line those are 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 100 Gbps. If you need something in between, take the next size up or add a second server. Ask us and we will work out which costs you less.
08Can someone help me choose before I order?
Yes. Start a chat on this page and our AI assistant replies in seconds, can check your account and servers, and brings in a person whenever you ask. Tell it your peak traffic and where your users are.
Not sure 40 Gbps is your size?
Tell us roughly how many people pull data from you at peak, and where they are. We will tell you straight whether one 40 Gbps server, four smaller ones or a different port fits your budget better. Our chat answers in seconds, and a person is there when you ask.
