509 Bandwidth Exceeded

Sometimes being too damn clever for your own good results in misery and heartache.

On the MyPE server, back in February 2011, I set a self imposed outgoing bandwidth usage limit of 200 gigabytes. Opening up MyPE this morning I got the dreaded ‘509 Bandwith limit exceeded’ message – apparently this happened at around 9:00 pm last night.

So for those who tried to access MyPE and were frustrated I apologise, the bandwidth usage limit has been set to 250 gigabytes now.

Words to the ‘wise’:

As I run a managed server I naturally ‘blamed’ my server techs for their oversight – it turns out that I was in the wrong, so sorry to you too, guys.

Last words to the ‘wise’:

Check your WHM bandwidth allocations before knee jerking.

On the bright side this means that far more people are visiting MyPE so for that I am grateful.
