Set a Bandwidth Limit

Open your account's Websites page, open the website settings menu, and select Bandwidth Limit.

Use Bandwidth Limit to schedule a maximum amount of bandwidth for a project during a selected time period.

Configure the limit

Enter the following values in the Bandwidth Limit dialog:

  • Start Time: The date and time when the limit starts.
  • End Time: The date and time when the limit ends.
  • Limit Size: The maximum bandwidth in GB. The value supports up to two decimal places.

Monitor usage

When a limit size is configured, the dialog displays the current bandwidth usage and a progress bar. Usage is shown in MB, while the configured limit is shown in GB.

The progress bar changes color as usage increases: purple below 80%, amber from 80% to the limit, and red when the limit has been reached.

Save or clear the limit

  • Save: Apply the selected schedule and bandwidth limit.
  • Clear: Remove the start time, end time, and limit size to disable the bandwidth limit.
  • Close: Close the dialog without changing the settings.
