On the Redhat OS's such as Redhat ES and CentOS are quotas already enable and setup for DirectAdmin so users can't go over there limit? Well because i have CentOS and the quotas are set but i am going to be moving to a different dedicated server provider that does not include DirectAdmin which means i have to setup manually.
 
It depends on the installation you chose for you Operating System. Most if not all give you the option of installing and enabling quota during setup. If not, it usually just requires installation and kernel rebuild.
 
Well i know FreeBSD is a pain and a butt and there is no good firewall scripts for it and also you don't know for sure about CentOS/Redhat ES?

A pain to enable quotas on freebsd? Just edit fstab to add the quota option, add the option to your kernel conf, compile, install, reboot, done. I am not sure what to say on the firewall scripts.

You could purchase a license for your server and still use DA at your new host. Or if you are just moving your server to another colo location maybe you could leave it as it (except some config changes like IP addresses etc) and purchase a license then update your server with the new one.
 
I already know how to do it through the kernel but there are more steps than that because i had FreeBSD before and the quotas were only enable through the kernel but not totally setep.
