It is important to keep your eye on your resources when you have a dedicated hosting plan so that you know when and if something is about to or has gotten out of hand. Here I hope to give you a few handy tips when it comes to monitoring your site resources and statistics in Plesk.
First thing you need to do is login to your Plesk control panel, and click on Limits. As you can see Limits displays the resource limits allocated to your account. It lists such details as:
- Maximum Number of Subdomains
- Disk Space
- Bandwidth
- Maximum Amount of Traffic
- Maximum Number of Web Users
- and more…
Now click on Up Level at the top of the Limits window for your domain, and click on Report. The Report will show you all account resource limits & usage, as well as users and a full list of all available scripts, utilities and resources.
FTP Stats will show you a history of FTP activity on your site – both in upload as well as download.
Traffic History will display information on traffic usage by Months and Years on your dedicated hosting account. To view the detailed traffic statistics used by various services at the domain, click on the Traffic button. The page will open displaying the traffic usage table. You can send a copy of the report to an e-mail address you specify too at the bottom of the Report screen. You can also set up a schedule for automatic delivery of the reports.
The last detail about monitoring dedicated resources inside of Plesk is the Web Statistics Preferences screen. From here you can set some of the preferences that will dictate the display of refers in your stats.
Now you should be a little more handy when it comes to stats and resources inside of your Plesk control panel via your dedicated web hosting account.
