I thought 50Gb size of bandwidth is enough to support all my websites but I was totally wrong. Today is a history for me. This is the first time I exceeded the bandwidth limit.
ServerFreak provides me 50Gb of bandwidth every month but that huge amount of bandwidth is not enough. I noticed about it when I got an email from my website.
The domain cypherhackz.net has reached its bandwidth limit (50059.23/50000.00 Megs).
Please contact the system admin as soon as possible.

Then I quickly rushed check my website and yes, it is suspended with a notification text on it. I print-screened the website as for my record.
Then, I contacted Sam, the owner of the ServerFreak and requested him to release my website. And he added 10Gb more to my bandwidth limit. Since then, my websites are ok and online as usuall. I hope that extra 10Gb bandwidth is able to handle my websites while waiting the next month to come.
But who is the culprit behind this? Tentang Cinta, a website which I developed and focus about love. It uses about 50% of the bandwidth for this month. It beats CypherHackz.Net which only use about 35% of the bandwidth.
Anyway, I hope this thing will not happen again in the future. Who want to lose visitors just for a simple problem, right? Before I end this entry, I would like to wish my thankful to Sam from ServerFreak for his great support and help.

50gb is definitely not enough for a medium blog.

Btw, another local blogger Ah Tim also exceed the bandwidth limit and I wonder what is the monthly bandwidth limit he is getting. The error message is same as yours.

#Steve Yu - I have about 11 websites.
#StuckS - Because ServerFreak sponsors this hosting. That is why they give extra bandwidth without extra charge.

Good stuff man.
I’m still working my way there
In an age, when hosting services are offering BW in the range of thousands of GB, this is definitely nothing. It is bound to happen.
need to get your self a dedicated server already… or i suggest use dreamhost, every week ur bandwidth will increase certain amount
But I got this hosting for free. He3.
wu..50gb till not enough kah? wahlau…mmg big amount tu. anyway congrat kerana mencapai had maxsimun 50gb. bukan senang nak sampai max tu..hehe
[...] Last month, it was the first time my website reached to its bandwidth limit. Then, I quickly asked Sam from ServerFreak Hosting for help. Only he can help me because my hosting is sponsored by ServerFreak so only he can increase my bandwidth quota. Thanks to him, he had increased my hosting bandwidth to 60GB. So my website runs back to normal. [...]
