Need Some Help ASAP - over bandwidth

[PRODUCER]

My site went over the daily bandwidth today so now when you go to www.RockItProductions.net you see the Powweb page, BUT the url I use for my site is http://rockitproductions.net/html/ and when you go to that url you don't see the Powweb page, how can I put the error page on that url as well? All over the web my site is linked using that url, so I need to get the error page put up in that html folder.

And why is it counted against our bandwidth when we upload files to our site?

When I go to your /html/ link, it shows that the folder doesn't exist.

If you go over the bandwidth, there's no other alternative error message you can put up.

If you've got any webstats programs running, check to see if you've got other sites leeching large files from you. Setting up a .htaccess to prevent leeching may prevent your site from going down in the future.

The reason FTP traffic counts against the bandwidth is because they don't want people setting up FTP download servers.

I guess Powweb only puts the error page on the main url, guess there's nothing you can do about that.

I spent like 5-6 hours uploading files between 4am and early this morning for my site update, and my site has been down before on days I updated my site so I know it's not leechers. Oh well, time to wait it out =/ Thanks for the reply.

How exactly do I make an .htaccessto stop leechers? I might need that in the future so it'll be good to know, is there a link you can show me?

Since your site is disabled, I am not sure what your site offers, but I am guessing that your site has something that people are searching for and downloading such as mp3s. Use a robots.txt file to disallow search engines indexing your mp3s. That way people must navigate your site to find these files. There are too many people simply searching for songs or images to download.

php script will calculate yesterday's bandwidth usage and today's for comparison. You can modify the script so that when the bandwidth gets too high, you redirect to a page that asks the visitor to come back later.

...just to add, you can also deny by IP with something like this (http://tips-scripts.com/?tip=block_traffic#tip") if that's all you have access to.
