You know how in the webhosting services website it says that you only have
20GB data transfer and stuph like that. I’m planning to set up my own hosting for a while to get experience on it. But how do I measure the data transfer using Fedora Core 1?

You’re going to want cPanel or something similar that allows you to set the paramaters for various hosting packages, so you don’t have to do any of the hard coding.

Nope, you have to buy it. Let me try to find the link for you…
ok there’s [www.cpanel.com](http://www.cpanel.com)
I’m not sure if you can use it to make packages though, it might just be for managing web space. You’re going to want to check into it.
This one is definitely for it, it has a walkthrough in and everything, looks quite nice.

this is all going to cost you a bit of money, but I’m sure it’ll all be worth it
