The greater the bandwidth speed you have, the more data you can send over your Broadband Internet connection which is often refers to a data rate measured in bits/s. Depending on your web hosting requirement
While choosing host providers depending on your requirement you will need disk space and bandwidth. If you plan to publish a website that does not have a lot of contents then the disk space requirement may not be a huge concern to you. In most cases, a disk space with 200MB to 500MB should be enough to meet your hosting requirement in general. However if you wish to host a website with massive amount of graphic pictures, video files, mp3 then you should think about a web hosting plan that provide huge disk space, for example, 500 MB to 1,000 MB.
Likewise, the bandwidth requirement will depend on your site traffic judgment and evaluation too. Obviously, a website that anticipates attracting high traffic will consume the monthly bandwidth greater. In such case you will need to find a website hosting service that offer huge bandwidth with 50 GB to 100 GB per month. Depending upon your website requirement, choosing a website hosting service that provide sufficient amount of disk space and bandwidth is key consideration to avoid any future problem and put off yourself paying extra costs while you overuse it in future.

Here is the set of directories which let you install mod_perl onto a cpanel server.
* You can go to your existing account or create new account where you will install mod_perl. You may select either the rvskin admin account or fantastico admin account. Suppose if you’ve install it in the rvadmin account then you can proceed as below.
* SSH into the server, and go to:
cd /home/rvadmin/ directory
* Get the mod_perl-1.29.tar.gz
wget http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.0-current.tar.gz
* Unpack the file:
tar xzf mod_perl-1.29.tar.gz
* Move to the mod_perl directoy:
cd mod_perl-1.29
* Configure
perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs EVERYTHING=1
* Run Make
make
Run Install
make install
* Activate Mod Perl
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -a -n perl -i libperl.so
#########
Now Create the script as shown below, and add it to the root directory of the mod_perl account holder (for this case rvadmin), and modify the permissions (chmod +x add-mod-perl.sh), so to add mod_perl back into apache, you just require to run the script, and then confirm that apache restarted with mod perl in it, you can then check in WHM/News to see if mod_perl is listed .
#########
Now you will need to run if you re-compile Apache. The mod_perl binary is at
/home/rvadmin/mod_perl-1.29/apaci/libperl.so, to make it more simple just put the following lines in a file:
— cut here —
#!/bin/sh
libperl=/home/rvadmin/mod_perl-1.29/apaci/libperl.so
apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
$apxs -a -n perl -i $libperl
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/httpd start
— cut here —
Name the file add-mod-perl.sh and execute “chmod +x add-mod-perl.sh”. after compiling apache run the script (”./add-mod-perl.sh”) and it should now work.
