cloud hosting is becoming mature and robust enough to
seriously recommend it. In order for me to be able to give
some reasonable recommendations, is there some way to
estimate what their current usage is? Most of my customers
currently use cPanel driven sites with pretty much
standard tracking apps on them. Is there anything in one
of those apps that would give me an idea of what they
might cost when moved to the cloud?</span></div>

Hi Nancy --<br>
<br>
In the cPanel UI look for "stats". You'll probably find the choices
Webalizer and Analog. In the Webalizer stats you'll find a rough
idea of bandwidth consumption if you add up all the days in a given
month. If you can connect to the account via ssh I'm pretty sure
there's a command you can run to tally the total size of the
account's home or public_html directory (sorry I wouldn't know the
command myself but I could swear I looked it up once and found it,
then promptly forgot it).<br>
<br>
However, cPanel is likely running within WHM, which is the admin
tool used on a server or VPS that doles out cPanel domains on the
server. If your clients have a VPS or private server they ought to
also have access to the overall server control panel at an address
like <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://servername.domain.com:2087">https://servername.domain.com:2087</a> (you'll need to know the
root login to access this).<br>
<br>
In WHM if you use the "Find" field in the upper l-h corner to filter
the menus and type in "usage" you'll see various choices though not
all are broken out on a per-domain basis if you need that. You can
get bandwidth consumption by domain (without having to add up daily
values), file space usage, etc.<br>
<br>
hope that helps!<br>
