Webmin Creating Folder/user With Space And Bandwidth Quota
Jun 14, 2008
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.

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?

I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)
If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com

is there a way to stop the quota.user files from being created? They're taking up a lot of diskspace.

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.

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: ....

I have a server with Plesk Panel 11.
When I create a domain, I created the folder:
c: inetpub vhosts.
I need to change the folder, since in that hard drive partition I'm running out of space.
How I can change the location of the folder where Plesk creates domains?

LXadmin seem to have a preset disk quota limit to users/groups, even root!
So, how do I change these disk quota limits? There isn't an option in the LXadmin control panel either.

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?

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.

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.

Unlimited space and bandwidth... totally lying?
I bought hosting with unlimited bandwidth, space, domain, etc. A few days ago I install script to sell photos. So I upload huge of photos and maybe eat their bandwidth and space. And today my account is deleted without any warning! I tried to ask this but no answer yet.
Is the Unlimited space and bandwidth is totally lying??? But why even hostgator selling the unlimited features?

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?

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.

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?

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.
