Notification settings for data traffic allow you to configure specific actions that should occur when a predefined threshold in data traffic usage is reached.
Data traffic notifications are a way to prevent (or limit) surcharges caused by exceeded use of data traffic. You pay for each GB of data transfer to and from your VPS that exceeds the fixed bandwidth amount which is included in the monthly server charge. Bandwidth that is used above the substantial amounts of traffic included as part of your server charge, is billed at the end of the month.
