The charge for traffic usage for each MB over the monthly allowance is:
R0.015 per MB for Micro to Master Hetzner Web Hosting packages.
At all times, Hetzner will calculate the most cost-effective rate possible for our clients e.g. a Basic account with a quota of 20 000 MB is currently using 56 000 MB of traffic, which is 36 000 MB of traffic over-usage.
The first scenario would be to pay for additional traffic at R0.015 per MB, which will cost the client R540.00.
The second scenario would be to determine the cost difference between a Basic and an Advanced account, which is R180. The Advanced account quota (50 000 MB) is still below the used traffic. The client will therefore have to pay for the additional 6 000 MB of traffic over-usage, at a cost of R90.00, giving a total of R270.00.
The third scenario would be to look at the cost difference between the Basic and the Master accounts which has a sufficient quota to cover the traffic usage entirely and will cost the client R340.
Using this method, Hetzner would identify the most cost effective traffic over-usage charge, which in this case is scenario two and would therefore charge the client a total of R270.00.
