Hello Post4VPS Community,

I just login into VPS panel and I experience this problem, my bandwidth reach 1.8 TB. It's weird and I was thinking how's that happen? 

Thank you in advance hoping admins or mods can help me regards my concern.

what have you used ?, i contacted the provider and according to them you have used excessive bandwidth tho i'm not sure as it was their live chat operator's response. what could cause such excessive bandwidth usage

You might be hacked? A few years ago (when I sucked in VPS security haha), some people did DDoS from my VPS and I got shut down by the provider.

I don't do anything sir Rishabh Jain, earlier this day I was planed to upload my files into my VPS so I can test my server and when I check my panel that's what I saw. Can they trace the IP who did this?

Thank you sir Rishabh Jain, I'm just worried, and hoping they wont suspend the VM because of what happen.

If you haven't setup things on the server yet, maybe you have set a weak password. Or something on the server was exploited. (You said you were going to upload files so I'm going to assume that you have something like a web server set up already.

Just wait for the renewal time and find the problem. I doubt a provider would reset your bandwidth without you paying.

I check my VPS statistic starting from the month of May up to now and this is the result, can anyone explain it more briefly so I can understand it more why my bandwidth reach 1.8 TB. Feel sad I can't even use my VPS until now

Any news regards with my bandwidth issue sir @Rishabh Jain?

You have like 64.3 Megabyte/s outgoing traffic (that's around 512 Megabit/s of used connection speed). That is a lot for any kind of normal usage. You used over 50% of the connection speed to send something out to the Internet and that over days. No wonder you used 1.8 TB bandwidth. This huge spikes indicate that maybe your VPS was hacked and used to attack someone or to do other illegal activity.
