High quality, yet affordable cPanel Linux hosting!

WHM View Bandwidth Usage Interface

The View Bandwidth Usage interface in your WHM control panel lets you view the bandwidth, in other words the amount of information your accounts sends and receives.

Please note that this interface monitors HTTP (browser traffic), FTP (files transferred), SMTP (sent mail), and POP3/IMAP (received mail) traffic and this may cause differences between bandwidth usage seen in WHM and log processing programs like AWStats.

Also please note that parked domain (alias) bandwidth usage is included in the main domain's measurements.


Accessing the View Bandwidth Usage interface

Login to your WHM control panel using your web browser. Go to 'http://www.yourdomain.com/whm/' (without the quotation marks). So if your domain name is 'example.com' you should go to 'http://www.example.com/whm/' to login to your control panel. The View Bandwidth Usage interface is in the "Account Information" tab, simply click on the name to enter.
