Just added a subdomain... [moved]

[rae-diance]

I've just added my first hostee to my website. Right now I am setting up their FTP account in cPanel. My website has unlimited space and unmetered bandwith(prolinkhosting.com). I would like my hostees to only have 100 MB of space. Is the quota field where I set up the amount of space they have?

There are two ways to achieve this:

1) Create a predefined package with a quota of 100MB (WHM -> Packages -> Add Packages) to be applied to new accounts that are setup.

2) In the accounts list (WHM -> Account Information -> List Accounts) there's a column entitled 'Quota' where you can modify quotas on a per-user basis.

Whm?

Thanks, but what is WHM?

WHM would be the interface you're using to setup accounts. It provides (more or less) global access to the server, whereas the cPanel interface is merely a subset of this providing your accounts with much more restricted access to things.

WHM is: http://yoursite.com:2086

whereas cPanel is: http://yoursite.com:2082

You will notice a significant difference between the two.
