Managing bandwidth in WHM is essential for maintaining server performance and ensuring fair usage among customer accounts. If accounts exceed their bandwidth limits, websites may experience slow loading times or even suspension. If you are a reseller, it is crucial to limit bandwidth usage for cPanel accounts to prevent excessive consumption by a single user, ensuring a balanced distribution of resources. This guide will walk you through the steps to manage and monitor bandwidth in WHM effectively.
