Requirements
- a WHM account
Steps to Follow
- after logging in to the WHM control panel, in the interface that will be displayed, we search in the upper left window for "Bandwidth Usage Limit"
- after selecting the result, in the window that will appear, the domain can be searched in the search bar or selected from the displayed list
- the desired account is selected and then the "Limit" button is pressed
- In the next window, a table will be displayed containing: User, Bandwidth used, Bandwidth limit
- for Bandwidth limit there are two options:
- Unlimited
- The maximum number of MB that can be used as traffic for that site is set in the box
- after setting the desired limit, press the "Modify" button on the right side of the table
- in the next window, you will receive confirmation of the change and the set bandwidth will be displayed
