About three days ago I hit the 80% mark of my accounts bandwidth, and now every six hours I'm reminded again. I was wondering if this is how its supposed to work, and if so, how can I turn it off and only get sent one at a different interval (say, when only 1 GB is left).

Also, since I only have so much bandwidth left, I've locked down my media directories with a faux 509 error page till the month ticks over, is this OK?

Yes this should be fine.

As for the emails an admin will have to check that out.

argh

well, its not really important, but just something I thought you might want to be aware of. just to check, bandwidth resets at start of the month, right? or is it from the date of your account being created.

Yes bandwidth does restart at the beginning of each month.

Sorry to spam out this thread with images of my inbox, but it's just kind of funny, they dont really bother me (yep, I got my first 80% bandwidth used on the 5th of this month for my Corp. account :/

If you can explain that smoother I might be able to see what your saying and help you out.

Mr Brownlove: All I have there is just what you see on the pages of my site, basically Tekken combo and match videos.

Hartap: I think you have me mixed up with someone else here, it wasn't me that done the sig tutorial. Also, the emails I get are automatically sent by default so if you reach 80% of your bandwidth, you will be sent an email if you have st it properly in cPanel.

Most of the files I have hosted are already zipped so yeah. The main reason I blew my bandwidth so much this month is because I put up a pretty big bunch of new match vids right at the end of last month.
