Limit accounts on CPU/Memory basis

[caitanya]

Hi,

Somehow since the last few weeks the server has become slow - the CPU/Memory are on 90-100%. Now we know why - it is only because of one account (customer) that has a lot of mySQL queries and with this they use almost all of the server. Before i drop them from the server i was wondering if there is an easy sollution for this.

My question: is it possible for this one account to limit the CPU/Memory usage. E.g when this account reached 20% CPU/Memory it can not use the rest 80%. These 80% are reserved for the other accounts on the server.

I have WHM 11.11.0 cPanel 11.16.0-R18546; FEDORA 5 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0

Did someone solve this kind of problems without buying a new server?

Thank you for sollutions

You can not limit the cpu/memory usage on account level. If its only one account causing this , you simply need to tell the client that they either need to optimize their usage or they need to upgrade, which then depends on how you are running things at your end.

It is clear that this client's Web site(s) exahust bandwidth, slowing down your servers and causing major headache to your server. Why not using Mod Throttle module!

Snert the company that makes modthrottle is closed, I would not use them anymore.
