month is usually considered the maximum limit per period

while all of their per-hour rates can go above 5bux a month, you won't be charged more than 5 for the month period

There are some weird price anomalies at other price points as well for hourly. In my previous posts Lightsail ended up being a fraction of a cent more than the others.

As for the 1GB vs 1000MB, I assume it's as another poster mentioned, 1024 vs 1000.

For things like the overview, I pull that stuff from the hosting companies pricing pages. I assume each company has good reasons for why they price and word things they way they do.

> What is difference between Linode's "1000Mbps" and DigitalOcean's "1Gbps"?

Perhaps 1000 vs 1024?

I think that would only apply to bytes (ex: kilo- vs kibi-) notation, not bits.

No, it applies to both.
