What is disk space and bandwidth?
The importance of monitoring in hosting
As a hosting reseller, it's essential to closely monitor the data traffic and storage usage of your customer accounts. This ensures that websites can function effectively and without interruption. It also helps optimize available resources and prevent exceeding limits, which can lead to additional costs or even downtime.
Check disk space step by step
- Log in to WHM: Use your username and password to access the WHM dashboard.
- Navigate to “List Accounts”: Find this option in the menu to see an overview of all customer accounts.
- Look at the “Disk Used” column: Here you can see how much disk space each customer account uses.
- Compare with quota: Check that usage falls within the allocated disk space for each account.
Check bandwidth usage step by step
- Select “View Bandwidth Usage”: You can also find this option in the WHM menu under the “Accounts” section.
- Overview per account: You will now see a list of bandwidth usage for all customers.
- Analyze consumption: Monitor peaks and ensure customers are not using more than their hosting package allows.
- Take action: If necessary, you can inform customers about their consumption and make adjustments where necessary.
Optimal use of disk space and bandwidth
- Upgrade plans: Encourage high-usage customers to upgrade their plan for more capacity.
- Clean up: Advise customers to regularly clean up their files to reduce unnecessary space usage.
- Monitor peaks: Track when traffic spikes and investigate whether this is due to specific events or campaigns.
- Automatic warnings: Set alerts for when customers approach certain consumption thresholds.
Prevent problems with regular checks
