How can I check my hosting resource usage in DirectAdmin?

Monitoring resource usage in DirectAdmin is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Steps to Monitor Resource Usage in DirectAdmin

1. Log in to Your DirectAdmin Account
   Use your username and password to access your DirectAdmin control panel.

2. Locate the "System Information" Section
   On the main dashboard, find the System Information or Resource Usage section. This may vary depending on your hosting provider's configuration.

3. View Current Resource Usage
   In this section, you can monitor:

   • Disk Usage: Shows how much disk space your account has used.

   • Bandwidth Usage: Displays the amount of data transferred, including website traffic and email.

   • CPU and Memory Usage: Reflects server resource utilization by your account.

4. Check Detailed Usage Reports

   • Navigate to "Statistics" or "Resource Limits" for more in-depth information.

   • Here, you can view resource usage for specific time periods, like daily, monthly, or custom ranges.

5. Track Individual Usage (Optional)
   If you have multiple domains or subdomains, you can view resource consumption for each. Look for the Domains or Usage Logs section.

6. Set Notifications (If Supported)
   Some DirectAdmin setups allow you to configure notifications when resource usage reaches a certain threshold. Enable these alerts to stay informed.

7. Access Logs for Troubleshooting
   For detailed insights, use the Log Viewer or File Manager to check:

   • Website access logs

   • Error logs

   • Email logs

Pro Tip

If you're consistently hitting resource limits, consider:

• Optimizing your website (e.g., compress images, minimize scripts).

• Upgrading to a higher-tier hosting plan for more resources.
