Thanks!
There is Space and there is Bandwidth.

For space, you can limit the amount of space allocated to an FTP account. In cPanel's FTP Manager when you set up the FTP user account, it creates a directory under public_html for the account. I think it defaults to unlimited space, but if you type in 10, it will limit the space to only 10Mb.

For Bandwidth, I think you can do this if you have a reseller account, and set your friend up with a separate domain and account. For shared plans, I'm not so sure how you manage the bandwidth.

With the increased space & bandwidth on the current plans, you will probably more likely be constrained by how much server resources are used by your account. If they exceed the TOS amounts, then your account could be suspended.
