I just set up a virtual Ubuntu 10.04 server with Rackspace Cloud. Is it possible to set a limit on the amount of data transferred within a given length of time? Ideally I would get an email notice when a spike occurs.

The reason I want this is because I don't want to get any nasty surprises in case I get hacked or if the site gets really popular for some reason.

Yes, this is possible. There are a lot of FAQs/forums out there that give advice on bandwidth throttling.

  • I'm actually looking for something like a daily/weekly/monthly cap (like 10GB/month), rather than throttling it to, say 100KB/s.
