Hello everyone. Has anyone ever heard of a program that I can use on a webserver to automatically cut access to the hosted site when a bandwith quota has been reached?

I'm thinking along the lines of what Geocities does...

(in case wondering, servers are Apache on Linux and BSD)

If you have cpanel (cpanel.net) installed it should suspend accounts once they reach their quota.

Quite expensive though, although has a ton of other features too.

look for mod_throttle

mod_throttle will limit the outbound bandwith. No problem there. But I actually want something to happen once a certain amount of traffic has been reached within a certian amount of time.

mod_throttle will do both. I currently use it to measure the monthly bandwidth of users, the good thing is that mod_throttle can output a text file which your scripts can read.

Will ENSIM do the same thing as CPANEL on bandwith throttling?
