Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Bandwidth quota

[shaman]

I have rented a dedicated server and want to sell hosting there for a few clients, but i need to set a bandwidth (gb/month) quota that each user will upload via apache. Any suggestions?
(OS: linux redhat enterprise)

Not sure if this will help, but I found http://www.snert.com/Software/mod_throttle/

You could get a control panel for this...www.cpanel.net or www.plesk.com are just a couple.

And without a panel?
I'm doing this way: i'll write a C program which i will add to crontab and which will check if there are gb's left, if not it will thisable (add a location deny to httpd.conf).

You can also try a free controlpanel www.webmin.com


But id recommend cpanel.net or plesk.com


cheers

Where can i get to see a demo of a cpanel? (cpanel.net demo offline).
Actually never used it as admin.. (sometimes as a user) cause i prefer the cmd line

Ghm.. And i set bandwidth quotas for users (as admin) and they're automatically disabled if they overuse it? Ghm..
And what about automatic user registration? I want to write something that users could be able to register them selves.

If you asked me cPanel is a little pricey if this in the only feature he wants. I've had much better luck with DirectAdmin anyway, and at a much lower price.

Well I like Plesk, but am i missing something or it doesn't support MySQL?

[shaman]

Any ideas where to get mod_bwlimited? Or atleast it's documentation (it's already installed on server).

[grassroots]

my votes goes to DirectAdmin ....

cPanel/Whm is the easiest to use

[shaman]

Well when i saw Plesk it seemed easier than cPanel to me

I like Plesk too.

It supports MySQL.
