What Is a Traffic Pool
The traffic pool is like a bank account holding a traffic reserve. Top-up your account and assign traffic to any VPS in your account when needed.
- Unused Pool Traffic does not expire.
- Hydration assigns traffic to a VPS (manual or auto at 99% usage)
- Traffic purchases are instant and are logged in the pool log.
- Traffic assignments are instant and are logged in the hydration log
Traffic Pool Starter Credit
Starting November 19, 2025, every newly purchased VPS includes 100 GB of complimentary traffic. We automatically add +100 GB to your Traffic Pool account for each new VPS you order. This starter credit lets you explore how the Traffic Pool works — and gives you a safety buffer if you ever run low on traffic. Your 100 GB starter credit:- never expires
- can be assigned to any VPS in your account
- works with both manual- and Auto-Hydration
How to Get Started
🛒 Purchase Traffic: Choose the amount of traffic you need and Top Up your Traffic Pool. 📌 Assign Traffic: Once payment is complete, head to the Traffic tab in your control panel to assign traffic to your VPS. Use +100GB, +500GB, +1TB, +10TB buttons for Manual Hydration. 📌 Enable Auto-Hydration: Enable Auto-Hydration for automatic traffic assignment when usage reaches 99%.
B — Manual Hydration: manually assign portions of +100 GB, +500 GB, +1 TB, or +10 TB to the selected VPS.
C — Auto Hydration: choose a profile (e.g., +100 GB). The system automatically adds e.g. +100GB to your VPS at 99% traffic usage levels.
