Hi,

When you have a virtual server on a plan (say Plan “A”, which has 5GB/month as a transfer limit), what happens when the web site hits that limit? Is the serving stopped, or is it allowed to exceed its plan limit and the administrator notified?

Thanks,  
Steve

Bah, silly me … there’s a bandwidth monitoring section for that.
