Quota "Soft" limits

[Jericon]

Plesk currently supports hard quota limits for disk space and bandwidth. I am looking for a solution that will notify my NOC and a customer when they reach 90% of their limit, or when they reach their limit and allow the account to remain active until they hit 110% of that limit.

Is there any way to do this? Quotas are very nice, but with the current implementation when the notification goes out, it's too late to preemptively resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance,
- J

You probably can make a script which checks the user quotas everyday and warn if the user is nearby quota.

or you might want to consider a more advanced product from Parallels called H-Sphere instead of Plesk. H-Sphere doesnt only have configurable warnings,

with h-sphere you can also offer summary quotas, vps, sitestudio, and it can also track billing etc. Unfortunately the only thing you cant do is to transfer your Plesk license :)

We already have a full billing system and everything in place with Plesk. I was wondering if there is any way to do this from within the plesk interface, but it doesn't appear that there is.

Plesk 9.0 will have both soft & hard limits:

CSN-Carl, is that information trustable? I mean is there any information about what will be in Plesk 9 from Parallels?

When I search for Plesk 9 on Google this is what comes first...
