Does that mean that there are no limitations to the activities of my site?

No. Beyond traffic there are potential hardware limitations that affect about 0.05% of our customer base. However traffic, thanks to an ever decreasing cost, is no longer the first point of constraint, and therefore no longer metered.

To explain further, a web hosting server is shared by multiple customers. A shared server is a limited resource. While 99,95% of websites will exist comfortably in this environment, some websites are better suited to being hosted on a dedicated server. Should the latter be observed, we will contact the customer and suggest alternatives.

We have explained unlimited traffic in more detail here.

It is incredibly important to Hetzner that we preserve and evolve the performance integrity of our servers and network. With this change, we are mindful of continuing in our efforts to provide you with a web hosting partner you can trust. Thank you for your on-going support.
