How to Setup Bandwidth Allocation Notices in WHM

Updated 28 September 2026 1 min read

Updated: 28 September 2026 · Applies to: cPanel & WHM 138 (WHM, root access)

cPanel can email account owners before they run out of bandwidth, so they can upgrade or reduce traffic in time.

Log in to WHM as root (https://your-server:2087).
Open Server Configuration › Tweak Settings.
Type bandwidth in the search box.
Turn on the setting that sends bandwidth limit notification emails to users.
Tick the usage levels that should trigger a warning (the choices run from 70% to 99%), then click Save.

Users receive the notices at the contact address set in cPanel under Preferences › Contact Information.
