# What happens when you hit your VPS bandwidth quota?

Oh no! You just hit your VPS bandwidth quota. Don't worry. This article will explain what happens when you hit your VPS bandwidth quota.

Firstly, **your VPS will remain active**. It will not disappear or deactivate. You can still use it as normal however, the internet uplink will be decreased to **500kb/s** (500 kilobytes a second). Once you have hit your quota, you are able to either do the following:

* Purchase more bandwidth - You are able to purchase more bandwidth. Please open a ticket [here](https://billing.sparkedhost.com/submitticket.php) to do so.

* Wait until it reset's next month - Your bandwidth will reset in the next month. This does not cost you nothing (Except of course for the VPS itself)
