Hey, all you hosts out there, please explain to me what the implication of using mod_bwlimited are.

I dunno, but it sounds like a module for apache to limit bandwith usage. -
That's what it is. I just need to know exactly how exactly it limits the bandwidth.Originally posted by Jimbo

Thank you, already did that. However, I'm not much of a tech and I was looking for some answers from the hosting people, kind of in plain language.Whitehat is for chumps

If you remove it, it gives you unlimited bandwidth. It's a little trick.
Multihomed quality BW for less

mod_bandwidth and mod_throttle is the two mostly used non-hardware methods of limiting bandwidth usage for virtual clients.
mod_bandwidth and mod_throttle are very different:
mod_bandwidth, which, although quite configurable, doesn't allow bandwidth bursts, so if your server is busy it could leave a feeling that connectivity is pretty bad.
mod_throttle, on the other hand, is a statistical throttling module, so it allows your sites to cope with high demand while not exceeding their transfer allowance.
on www.youza.com we dont use any of them

Can the users themselves (using some control panel) change the values of mod_bwlimited, or can it only be done by the host? And does it cap the transfer rate, or does it limit the amount of data transfered in, say, a month, like turning your sites offline if you've used up your plan?Originally posted by Bucho

I havent seen or heard of any point and click thing to control mod_bwlimited however this ought to be a fairly simple thing to make.Originally posted by DamageX

I am quite sure some of the many VDS/VPS packages out there has some sort of similar setup. I know some of them put limits on usage of ressources such as cpu/memory as well as bw usage, however I do not know if they are using mod_bwlimited.
For mod_bwlimited its a simple cap. You allocate a fixed amount of bw (like 2mbps or 256kpbs) for each user.
Also - Its at apache level so i dont actually know if/how FTP and Mail usage is integrated/included.
Hope that helps ya
