Compare Cloud Data Egress Pricing

Data egress is outbound transfer from a cloud service to a destination such as the public internet. The compared source product, region, destination context, native GB/GiB unit, and allocation scope are shown because providers do not sell one interchangeable egress product.

Scenario and method

The pricing table evaluates 1 decimal TB (1,000 GB) of outbound public-internet transfer per month. Provider-native GiB terms are converted exactly, and included quantities apply only at the displayed product, app, account, pool, or plan scope. A $0.00 result means this scenario is within that allocation, not unlimited free egress. The website examples below separately assume 100 KB pages.

Current non-scalar terms such as shared credits, soft limits, and capped or unpublished overages remain visible as Not comparable rather than being represented as a false zero price.

A $0.00 scenario total means the compared 1 TB is covered by the stated allocation; it does not mean unlimited free transfer.

How much bandwidth would my website use?

The bandwidth a website will use depends on many factors including the size of the web page, any additional API usage, caching, etc.

  • 1k page visits - 100 MB (0.0001 TB)
  • 10k page visits - 1 GB (0.001 TB)
  • 100k page visits - 10 GB (0.01 TB)
  • 1 million page visits - 100 GB (0.1 TB)
  • 10 million page visits - 1 TB

If your site is media heavy (lots of images, videos) then those will likely make up a majority of your egress usage with images coming in at ~100s KBs and videos in the MB / GBs.

Of course if you're being DDOSed then page visits doesn't really make sense as they'll be sending thousands of requests a second at your website with the sole purpose of taking down the website / increasing your hosting costs. In that case your best bet is to buckle down for TBs of egress by choosing a low cost provider and protecting yourself with a CDN / proxy like clouflare.
