# HostDare HDD5 · Budget HDD

- Plan ID: hostdare-hdd5
- Other provider plans: /en/plans?provider=HostDare#catalog
- Provider plans API: /api/v1/en/plans?provider=HostDare
- Market: en
- Provider-claimed region: Los Angeles, USA
- Monthly equivalent: $40.99
- Actual payment: $122.97 / 3 months
- Monthly transfer: 10 TB / mo
- Advertised port: 500 Mbps
- Cost per included TB: $4.10 / TB
- Network interpretation: Transfer allowance and bandwidth are separate. Advertised ports are not measured throughput. Verify egress/combined metering, port sharing, fair-use and overage terms with the provider; unreviewed terms stay unknown. Cost per TB divides the monthly-equivalent plan price by included transfer (1 TB = 10¹² bytes); it is not an overage billing rate. Unknown never means unmetered.
- Resources (provider claims): 5 vCPU, 16 GiB RAM, 800 GB HDD
- Benchmark status: not_tested
- Price verified: 2026-10-18T11:02:44.266Z
- Price source: https://hostdare.com/cheapvps.html
- Consider for: Choose this tier by budget, RAM, storage and expected monthly use, then benchmark your own workload.
- Tradeoff: Shared-resource performance varies by node and time; confirm location and add-ons at checkout. Billed quarterly.

No measurement means unknown, not zero. Annual equivalents still require annual upfront payment. Taxes, setup fees, stock and renewal may be unknown. Report evidence is directional, regional and time-specific. Carrier identity is operator-declared.
