    Default Allow bandwidth overuse on some accounts (no suspension when exceed quota)

    I'd find it very useful if the setting "Disable Suspending accounts that exceed their bandwidth limit" could be set on a "per plan" or "per account" basis instead of only on a server-wide basis.

    For example, I'd like to automatically disable bandwidth exceeders on smaller, lower-priced plans, but not those on the larger, higher priced plans.

    So being able to enable/disable this feature on a per plan basis would be perfect. But I can also see the potential benefits in being able to specify this on a per account basis as well.

    As much as I loathe Plesk, this is a feature that it has that cPanel doesn't ... and it does appear to actually work (for once).

    You're referencing their allow/disallow overuse functionality, correct?

    Default Disable Suspend on Bandwidth Exceeded, but still send notification

    As mentioned in the following thread, it would really help to have the ability to disable the auto-suspend when an account exceeds bandwidth limit, but still have the notification mail sent out.

    This is a duplicate of an existing feature request, which I will now merge this discussion into.

    My request was for different functionality (disable suspend while still sending notification) than this thread (set suspend on bandwidth exceeded based on package level).

    Both requests were for support of bandwidth overuse, though one was server-wide, the other was per-package.

    Ok David, just wanted to make sure it was clear that the point of my request is to have an option to send notification still when a site exceeds their bandwidth limit.

    Yes, even this would be sufficient.
