# Outbound Bandwidth

> 1TB of free outbound data transfer per organization each month.

Every DCDeploy organization gets **1TB of outbound data transfer free per month**.\
This applies to all workloads, environments, and domains combined.

***

## Details

* Inbound traffic is always **free**.
* Outbound traffic beyond 1TB is billed per GB.
* Usage is aggregated across all environments in your organization.

***

## Example

| Plan              | Included Outbound | Additional Cost |
| ----------------- | ----------------- | --------------- |
| Default (per org) | 1TB               | \$0.10 / GB     |

***

## Monitoring Usage

1. Navigate to **Org → Metrics**.
2. Check **Outbound Bandwidth** usage.
3. Set alerts for thresholds (e.g., 80% usage).

***

## Best Practices

* Use caching and CDNs to reduce outbound usage.
* Compress assets and enable gzip/brotli.
* Place databases in the same region as workloads to avoid unnecessary data egress.
