discrepancy in bandwidth usage (huge)
 

Went through all my domains yesterday to figure out which to move or not (load balance), but when noting the gigs used in awstats for January I found huge differences from what my hostingcompany is reporting. Awstats is actually reporting only half usage...

Can awstats be trusted? Have you noticed a difference in the gb usage with your hosting company?

I've a site who uses 25-30gb/day and it appears correctly in awstats

thanks for the info! worse for me was about 1000 gigs off on a single domain... makes me wonder

Check your site and your stats, sure you can find from where is all the traffic.

regards.

Maybe you're pulling BW from a site you have hosted with your company and just forgot to check its stats. Although 1000 gb is a pretty good amount...

good luck with finding out whats wrong :)

Still haven't moved? :Graucho

I can see every domain listed at my hosts cp and all seemes a lot higher .. 1000 gb was just for one of them

Awstats will only count traffic from the websites. It will not count FTP or Email, which can account for a large proportion.

difference in total is about 7000 gigs... :/

oh lord... get someone from the hosting company (without naming names) to look at it RIGHT away!

they'll have a meeting tonight.. :)

Typical of a overloaded server, awstats will not grab data when the server is overloading. Your host is off MRTG so it's accurate.

highly interresting..

Does AWstats account for outgoing emails and FTP?

see post by Radiate ...

even if it did. I can't fanthom using over 7000 gb of BW through them

Well, it is a lot, but if someone hacked them, and is sending out spam with attachments it could happen

you're scaring the shit out of me..
