That's even a better explanation. Thanks Andy

Bandwidth will be increased but each server will still only provide a maximum of 100Mbps or 1Gbps depending on its connection. You can't have 10 at 100Mbps and expect 1Gbps when downloading a file from your cluster, unless you use multiple connections to get one connection from each server.

with our Pro servers, you can set an IP loadbalancing between your server. Thus, if you provide the same service in different servers, the load will be balanaced between them ( i.e.: load-balancing ).

This uses DNS load balancing technique.

Of course, even in this balancing configuration, the outbound traffic for each server is still individual, so the allowed traffic for the load-balancing infrastructure is 2, 3, 4, .. times , and the bandwidth too.

Hope this answers your questions.

Do the dedicated servers have an option to have a hardware load balancer to connect 2 or more dedicated servers together? Like if i wanted 10 dedicated servers, can I connect them together using 1 or more hardware load balancers?

If I can, will my bandwidth be 10x because i would have 10 dedicated servers?
