What is the max number of accounts Cpanel supports?

[astounding]

Hey,

I just realized that linux has a limit with storing over 32,768 directories in a folder. Hence this is how many members one can have.

I'm wondering if Cpanel has already got a solution to this to hold more then 32K members all on 1 server?

Please let me know as I'm approaching the 32K mark really quickly.

Thanks.

If you mean /home having 32000 subdirectories, you can make a /home2 and cpanel will put them in there automatically. It will choose the partition with the most space but you can overide the default choice.

"If you mean /home having 32000 subdirectories,"

Yes that's exactly what I mean.

So I guess it won't be a problem on a linux right? I mean even if I make a home2/, old member pages in /home would still function?

Please let me know....

He means if you have home and home2, Cpanel places new accounts on partition with most free space.

32K accounts on one server? are you winding us up?

Hehe. I get the point. To many acconts for server to handle and you need to cluster it.

But I think it's still possible with free hosting because out of every 1000 people that signup to the free hosting, only 30 will put a webpage.

And their webpage will get hardly any traffic.

So it's no problem actually.

Might be a problem when backing up every users account

32000 accounts on one server ?? I guess it must be a 32 CPU server then :D
