I am needing to set a maximum size requirement for some of the folders in my web site directory to about 120 MB. The help desk said that there might be some scripts that can accomplish this.

Any ideas?

Thanks

A little background: my wife and I run www.adoptionvoyages.com, a website that provides travel journals for families going overseas to complete international adoptions. Basically, we build the pages, they send us journal entries and pictures, and we post them. All they have to do is be able to email with an attachment in order to be able to use our service.

Recently, we decided to offer self-maintained sites. We charge less ($25), set up either a blog (using word press) or a CMS (joomla) and allow them to update it as often as they want to. (This is a part of the market we have avoided until now.)

I want to be able to tell my clients that they can post as much material as they want, provided that the total size doesn't exceed 120 MB.

Does that make sense?

Looking at the reseller plan, am I reading this right, that the first 3 accounts I purchase (with a 1 yr commitment) is $7.95 per month, per account? (Which would put it at $23.85 per month for all three?) Also, that each account would have 1000 MB storage, and 100 GB bandwidth?

If so, then this is way more that what I need. Even if you include pictures that have not been resized, I don't anticipate then needing that much space.

Looking at the way these two software packages work, I probably would need to limit the size of the MySQL database.

Any idea how to do that?

I apologize, I may have jumped in without all the details.  I had assumed that LP used standard
WHM features for their resellers, and they may not.

Is the issue providing pages for clients? or is it limiting the space they can use?

I have seen other Web sites where clients pay a fee to post their pictures, essays, and other information, all under one domain (sometimes as subdomains for each client). The site owner does the work of building the pages and ultimately controlling what's on the site. Is there any official LP ruling on whether this is considered "third party" use under the AUP, or is "the business of the account owner"? The clients do not have their own domains that they control and are not building pages themselves, but are contributing material (for a fee) to the account owner's site. It would be nice to have an official word on where this falls. I feel that it should be acceptable use, as why should LP discriminate against being paid for contributed material, whereas a blog might do it for free?
