Webmin Creating Folder/user With Space And Bandwidth Quota
how can i create directories in my (public_html / htdocs folder) that have disk space and traffic quota?
i activated the disk quota to the native linux file system and i tried to create a user but i could not put this user in any folder in the public_html (i dont know how to do this) also there is no option to create bandwidth quota..
one more detail is that the folders need to be protected with login and password because people may try to enter this folders (e.g. www.mydomain.com/protectedfolder)
all this using webmin or another free good script.

Automatically Creating A Subdomain For Each User
Here is a summary: One) allow users to register at the homepage. Then give them automatically a URL such as username mydomain com Two) A catch-all subdomain so that if someone browses to xxxx mydomain d0t com and xxxx is not registered by any user; then it is redirected to www mydomain com Three) All registered subusers details to be maintained in Mysql database (this seems to be easy) Four) If possible, impose individual quota on each registered user (not really critical). Which hosting plan should I go with for this? VPS? Shared hosting? Something else? any particular company? what's the best approach for automatically creating the subdomain for each user upon registering at the site?

Webmin Bandwidth Monitoring, Syslog-ng
I have been using webmin's bandwidth monitoring function for a while but (as anyone who's ever used it) i have a few issues: 3 huge (~250MB and growing) log files: /var/log/bandwidth, kern.log and syslog. also the 'dmesg' only outputs these log messages: BANDWIDTH_IN:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:16:3e:00:00:c6:00:0c:db:0d:e2:4c:08:00 SRC=89.181.46.133 DST=83.246.72.186 LEN=92 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=36035 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=4399 DPT=22 WINDOW=64711 RES=0x00 ACK PSH URGP=0 BANDWIDTH_OUT:IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=83.246.72.186 DST=89.181.46.133 LEN=92 TOS=0x10 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=42455 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=22 DPT=4399 WINDOW=10720 RES=0x00 ACK PSH URGP=0 I installed syslog-ng in hopes that i could change this behaviour but to no avail. the real problem i see is that shorewall/iptables only logs to "kern" facility... has anyone found a way arround this? maybe even using some other firewall?

Bandwidth Quota For Shell Accounts ?
how can setup a monthly bandwidth quota for unix users ? Is there any tool that can measure the in/out bandwidth for all /home/* directories ? For eg if a user wget a file of 150mb , i should be able to track it. I want also to track bandwidth for a user, using dynamic port forwarding via putty.exe.

2mhost.com - Web Stress Testing To Use Up Bandwidth Quota?
I was just curious as to whether anyone has ever came across a situation where your monthly bandwidth/transfer quota is being consumed at an exponential rate without any increase of traffic to the site? My current situation is this. I have an account 2mhost and a monthly bandwidth transfer quota of 100,000 MB. For the past few months it's been steadily growing. When I first transfered the site to this host their cheapest package quota wasnt sufficient and I ended up with a bandwidth overage error page on my site, so I had to upgrade. In doing so I've always ended the month just shy of 80% total quota. My problem is that it's only the 17th, and a few days ago i was at about 32%, now im at 51% with no increase of pageviews. Looking into awestats shows the alexandria2.2mhost.com using 30 gigs!! I questioned the tech support via live chat and they said it was wordpress accessing the images. So I downloaded the raw access logs and noticed that Every few seconds the server ip would make a request to a dozen or so images, each image being requested 3 times. here's a portion of the log: ....

Creating Web Hosting Accounts/asigning Bandwidth
The first thing i'm thinking of is cpanel but there's many others If you're runing a server with 5000gb traffic/bandwidth per month When you're creating hosting accounts, could you allow 5000gb in each new account you're creating? Like if you had unmetered, you'd put unmetered in every new account Considering no account would ever reach any way near their monthly allowance.

Limiting Ssh User To Specific Folder
I may have this wrong, but I think it's possible. I have a friend who wants to run a process on one of my servers, now I don't particularly 'care' about this server, it's just used for a couple of unimportant things so I'm okay with him running it, but I don't want the hassle of sorting out things if he decides to delete everything, so I'm hoping it's possible to limit his directory. For example, I have the folder "people" in the top most directory, inside that I have "arthur", I want to limit the ssh user "arthur" to the folder "arthur", I don't want him to be able to cd ../../ and delete stuff, is this possible?

Unlimited Space And Bandwidth For 4$
while looking for a host I've found that there are many hosts that offer unlimited web space and unlimited bandwidth for very little money like 4$ per month and there are also expensive web hosts that offer limited but big webspace and high bandwidth for much more money. What am I missing here? If a big website like yahoo decides to buy that 4$ per month host and move there, what would happen? Would the bandwidth really be enough and not slow down? If it wouldn't carry yahoo then why do they say it's unlimited? I'm confused because I've heard about people spending thousands of dollars for big websites every month.

Need 1000GB Disk Space/200TB Bandwidth?
OK so I've been in the hosting industry a very long time now and I have noticed that overselling has got more and more crazy over time. 7 years ago, 2GB of disk and 10GB bandwidth was considered overselling. Today, its common to see offers at 1000GB/1000TB. So my question, to all you looking for web hosting, do you really think you will need all that space and bandwidth? I'm going to let you in on a little secret. (Some might hate me for this!) Out of all my customers, 99% use less than 1GB disk and 5GB transfer. Every hosting provider out there knows this, and will tack on a bunch of 0s to their offer to make it look more enticing . The thing is, if you aren't using the space, you aren't getting any extra value. If you come even close to the amount they offer, I am willing to bet you will be suspended faster than you can blink. This advertising tactic is very misleading and a lot of newcomers base their decision off the meaningless numbers they see. <<Snip>> Bloggers - Think again if you believe you need anything more than 1GB of space. You could type blog posts until you are blue in the face before you come close to using 1GB(unless you incorporate a lot of videos and images) Forum owners - Considering most forums are text based, forums use hardly any bandwidth. If you run a highly active forum, eventually you will start consuming decent amounts of disk space. However, there is no way that a shared host would allow such a forum to exist on the servers. You will be shut down before you use even a fraction of that 100gb/1000tb. What should you consider than? If you see a host offering such impossible amounts of resources for an even more impossible price, look elsewhere. If you want a decent service, look to spend $5-10/m for a reasonable amount of disk space and bandwidth.

Low Space And Bandwidth, Reliable Hosting
I am planning to create a website for my business. Its a bulk exports business and there will be very few visitors, less than 1000 a month. Also space needed should also not exceed 100 mb as I will only have some html information pages and a few pictures of my products. However, the webhost should be reliable and have an easy to use interface as I am a beginner in this field (I hear cPanel is good). Also I have 2 more domains/businesses which I hope this same hosting should cover so it should have addon hosting. Please recommend a reliable hosting provider with a good interface and price under $25 per year. The registrar I will be using for the domain is Namecheap as I am planning to register a .in (India) domain name and very few have that option.

Host That Doesn't Lie About Bandwidth Space?
I am sure this thread was most likely created before but I haven't been able to find anything on the particular host I just had an issue with. It goes like this. I've been through web hosts ever since 1998. I've grown accustomed to web hosts deceiving their customers by listing '20 gigs of BW use, or 'Unlimited BW' (which we all know is BS) but for the past few years, I actually had a host who didn't lie about how much BW their customers got with the packages. I signed up for a 20 gig BW account with HostVector and I've used up to 19 gigs and they have never said a single word. I left them recently because they were bought out by Millennium Services and ever since then, its been a nightmare. Constant down time, tech support nowhere to be found. Sadly to say, I had to leave that host due to fact that their new owners have no clue what they are doing. I found ELIEF and thought they looked promising. I signed up for the package that listed 20 gigs of BW, now at first I thought okay.. this may be fishy, but if this was a flake, they would have specified that customers really won't get 20 gigs of BW. Regardless, I trusted them the way I trusted HostVector. Seeing how I am a musician, I uploaded a 80MB pack and sent it to some friends to download and not even a 12 hours later. My account was suspended because it apparently caused their server to crash? I checked the stats and only 68 users downloaded that 80MB file. This is beyond aggravating. I know there are countless web hosts who lie about this type of stuff but why cant at least specify someplace on their page a more detailed info about bandwidth usage? Maybe put an asterisks next to the BW section like some hosts do and explain that what is listed there is not the reality. So here I am, my domain is suspended. My fans/listeners/friends are wondering what happened and I am sitting here angered beyond belief because I thought this type of lying was something that hosts stopped doing in the late 90s. Any recommendation guys? Does an honest web host who actually offers the same amount of BW they list on their hosting packages, exist anywhere?

How To Limit Bandwidth Usage Per User Per Day
I run 10+ sites on my dedicated server.In last 7 days one of them used over 1.7 TB of bandwidth. I can't suspend that domain because it's mine. I can't ban the IP of those who use considerable amount of bandwidth because they are a lot. So i think about software/mod/whatever else that limit bandwidth usage per user(IP) per day! is there any one who has experience about this situation?

Fast Webhost, Little Disk Space, With Php, Mysql, Phpmyadmin, And Alot Of Bandwidth
The most important requirement is that the webhost must be fast. It must have alot of bandwidth. The disc space is not so important. 200 MB would be enough. It must have PHP, MySQL and phpmyadmin installed. Must be accesable through FTP. There are offcourse more requirements. But the main thing is that i want it to be fast. My pages will be only informative and exists of just mainly text and an image every now and then. Do you know any fast webhosts that is good to handle websites with large amounts of visitors? I'm looking for something around 6 dollars per month. I dont know much about webhosting at all, so i'd appreciate any help i can get Also i see websites where you can register a domain. But the prices vary, isn't a domain just a domain? What makes this price difference?

UK Web Hosting 500MB Space 1GB Bandwidth Existing .org.uk Domain
I'm the webmaster for a church website: stpetersbraunstone.org.uk and our domain & hosting renewal is coming up, so I'm looking to see if there's a better deal. We're with namehog.net (and have been for 2 years with no problems at all) on their Professional package. The renewal fees are 105GBP (web hosting) + 5.90GBP (domain name) + 17.5pc VAT to cover the next 2 years, which comes to 130.31GBP. The site is powered by WordPress, so PHP and MySQL are needed. And we upload lots of photos, so need at least 250MB webspace I'd have thought. So far, our highest monthly bandwidth usage has been under 800Mb, and our visitor numbers are increasing and our highest monthly figure so far was 401. Any recommendations gratefully received. There seems to be many different companies out there who offer what I want, so I'm after some personal recommendations please. I've already used this site to discount streamline.net due to bad reviews. I'm looking at fuzioned.com and redfoxhosting.co.uk - any thoughts? I've also come across no-wires.co.uk - has anyone had any good or bad experiences with them? And yes, I have submitted my details to the "request quote" thing.

/tmp Folder 777 ... Use As Sessions Folder... Secure
On my VPS I would like to set the /tmp folder to 777 and point to it with session.save_path. The VPS will host a number of sites, but I will have sole control of them. ie. the account holders will not have access to cpanel. If it makes any difference, the server is running phpSUexec. What are the risks involved with this?

Webmin And Apache
I started using some dedicated server and I have Webmin as control panel. There is also Apache that I turned on and it worked. But since I didn't find anything to access server via ftp, I searched on net and understood that I need to install some module for it on Webmin. In list of inactive modules I found Proftpd and install it. And then I made problem: somewhere in Webmin where is administration of users I edited user "ftp" since when logging I went to directory /var/ftp and I wanted to go to /var/www/html. But when I changed accessing directory from /var/ftp to /var/www/html it didn't work so I again moved to /var/ftp. After that I again couldn't access but noticed in file manager under Webmin that content of /var/www was moved to /var/ftp and previous content of /var/ftp disappeared. I created new directory www in /var and copied in file manager content from /var/ftp but again when access from public address I receive error 403 forbidden. I rebooted system but again same.

Webmin Becoming Inaccessible
every now and again Webmin seems to become inaccessible eg. when I go to [url]it just sits there and eventually times out with a "The connection has timed out" error. But if I use lynx from the server to access [url]it works fine, does any one have any ideas what could be causing this, if I restart the server it then starts working fine again.

Hostname Webmin And SSH
my VPS with Steadcom has been running for about six months now and for the most part I'm very pleased. I'm not all that skilled at running it yet, still learning. First, My email was being blocked by some recipients, I am using sendmail. So I had to change the hostname and the hosts file, and the network file to my domain name, instead of the hostname Steadcom gave me. This fixed the email and it seems receipients are okay with the new settings. However, whenever I restart the VPS, these files and the hostname get reset. How can I make it so these are not changed... is this something I have to bring up with Steadcom or is it a setting I'm not getting quite right? Second... my webmin seems to have problems. I can log in, but then sometimes I cannot navigate to the areas I need to, as I'll get a page not found error. I have been stopping and restarting webmin, and that sometimes helps, but sometimes not and I have to restart the whole server. Which I really don't want to do just for webmin. I don't really know webmin that well, either, so would love some help on what I can do about this. Third.. when I have SSH running I often get Brute Force warnings for a bot or someone trying to log in. So I just stop the service all together. But when I restart, it starts up again. How can I keep SSH from starting unless I need it?
