Hey Guys,
It's becoming more and more popular that hosting companies are offering hosting plans that limit use by counting unique visits rather than bandwidth. Does Virtualmin have a module that provides this type of quota?
Limiting hosting by visits its shady and unfair business model. There so many other ways how you can prevent one client to overuse server resources (CPU, memory, number of processes, I/O, disk space) and limiting by unique visits just doesnt make sense. This is usually used to protect other clients on the same server rather then using it as selling point. But if is used then is good reason behind that, for example shared vs premium hosting where in first case there would be 500 clients per server vs. maybe 200 in second case.
Cloudlinux is first to come in my mind how to protect the server for shared hosting or Xen/KVM for VPS.
It's becoming more and more popular This is not true and i doubt it will ever be. Maybe in the world of low quality, kiddie and shady host but in reality can rarely be seen.

Howdy,
Virtualmin doesn't offer a method to limit by this particular method.
You can limit by bandwidth used though.
