Folder Quota

Hello,

Not many people may be aware that Microsoft has introduced Directory quota with Windows 2003 R2. Till now we used the native user volume quota system which was quite problematic considering the Shared Hosting industry where you have to restrict the quota of each website. With Windows 2003 R2 this problem has been resolved as Microsoft has come up with the directory quota system where you can actually restrict the quota for a directory. So, if a directory is assigned 100 MB, you can have only data up to 100 MB inside that directory including the files and the sub-directories. This is a boon to the Web Hosting industry as far as the Windows hosting is concerned. The same is also available in Windows 2008. More details are available in http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/R2/storage/default.mspx

Now my question is how Hosting Controller is planning to use this feature in its Disk Quota management. I believe, Hosting Controller is using the native Disk Quota System of Windows. I recommend Hosting Controller to update the HC 7 to use this feature. Doing this will be a great thing for all the Hosting Providers who use HC.

Any Suggestions?

    I will eagerly wait for a positive update. Microsoft has done a great job with this and we expect HC to do better.

    We have included it in our to do list but currently we dont have time to support this feature due to some important priority tasks. Thanks for your understanding.

    I agree, because the most HSP has Windows 2003 (not R2) also Windows 2008 is coming...
