1 to 5 Gbps dedicated servers

Choose a port for the hours you actually send traffic. A mirror syncing overnight and a video library serving viewers all day can move the same number of terabytes but need different port speeds.

The port is the server connection speed. It does not specify a minimum sustained rate, a monthly transfer allowance or an overage price. Ask for these terms for the exact package before ordering.

Measure before you overbuy.

Lower-bandwidth dedicated servers are useful when the project has real infrastructure needs but does not yet need a 10 Gbps port. They keep the buying decision close to measured traffic instead of aspirational capacity.

For streaming and media, size from peak bitrate and concurrency first. If the normal busy hour is already close to 5 Gbps, review 10 Gbps before launch.

Use cases

Where 1 to 5 Gbps fits.

An overnight copy of 2 TB needs about 0.56 Gbps over eight hours, before overhead. If you also deliver video during that window, add both loads. For usage billed by volume, look at monthly transfer options.

Private media library

Workload: Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, or VOD delivery for a known audience size.

Sizing: Direct-play bitrate, storage layout, and concurrent viewers decide whether 1, 2.5, or 5 Gbps is enough.

Fit: A smaller dedicated port can be more economical than a 10 Gbps server when peaks are controlled.

Limit: Heavy public delivery or many simultaneous 4K viewers can outgrow this range quickly.

Small origin or mirror

Workload: A download mirror, update server, or origin feeding a limited cache footprint.

Sizing: Measure peak requests, object sizes, and retry behavior before selecting a port.

Fit: The range suits steady transfer workloads that need dedicated hardware and manageable port cost.

Limit: If cache-fill traffic is bursty, compare 10 Gbps before launch.

Backup and archive delivery

Workload: Outbound archive restores, private backup retrieval, or controlled data distribution.

Sizing: Storage reliability and restore windows matter more than headline port speed.

Fit: 1 to 5 Gbps can provide predictable restore throughput without oversizing network capacity.

Limit: This page does not replace a backup policy; retention and replication need separate design.

Choosing an operating system

For a small mirror or backup host, start with the tools your team already patches and restores. Check that your backup agent supports the release.

Questions & answers

1-5 Gbps Servers: buying questions

Browse all topics
When is a 1 Gbps server enough for video delivery?

Start with peak simultaneous viewers, not library size. For example, 80 viewers at 8 Mbps need about 640 Mbps of video payload. Allow extra capacity for audio, protocol overhead, retries and other traffic.

Does every package on this page have a 5 Gbps port?

No. The port on each package is the speed to use for sizing. For a 2.5 or 5 Gbps requirement, ask for that speed explicitly rather than assuming a 1 Gbps package can burst to it.

How long would it take to send a 1 TB backup over 1 Gbps?

About 2 hours 13 minutes at continuous line rate, using decimal units. Disk reads, encryption, competing traffic and the receiving server usually make the real transfer longer.

Should I buy more RAM or a faster port for my mirror?

Look at a busy download window. If the disk reads the same files repeatedly, RAM used for filesystem cache can help. If the port is already full while the disk is idle, additional RAM will not increase egress.

Can I use an offshore server for a private media library?

Yes, for content you have the right to store and deliver. Keeping a library private does not give you permission to share protected works with other viewers.
