    How much bandwidth does a retro hotel require?

    Hello,

    I am looking for a new dedicated server for my hotel. In average, the hotel has about 30 users online, but we see a bright future, so let's say in a month we may have 100 users online.

    How much bandwidth will I need each month? Will 10TB be enough? Because the server I am looking at is with direct 1GBps flatrate, but if I ecceed 10TB traffic it goes down to 10MBs. Is this too little bandwidth for a retro hotel with the amount of users I have?

    Cloudflare caches a lot so that saves heaps.

    The only thing you should keep an eye on is DDoS protection. If people try to take down your site it will cost a lot of traffic.

    But if I have DDoS protection (which I have), this wont affect the traffic right? I don't use Cloudflare btw, I use another service.

    If they cache for you it will still save you a lot of bandwidth / traffic.

    You'll need protection because I own a Minecraft server hosted on a CentOS VPS, long story short.

    - the VPS got nullrouted.
    - an approximately 30 GB of bandwidth out of my 2TB was used up from the DDoS attack.

    As seen from the graphs:
