Plan before you provision

Most hosting headaches start with a guess. Before you pick a plan or schedule a migration, run the numbers in the bandwidth calculator to see how long a transfer or backup will take and roughly how much monthly traffic your site needs.

Setting up a VPN, firewall or private network? The subnet & CIDR calculator turns any address range into hosts, masks and ready-to-paste rules, so a typo never locks you out of your own server.
