Reseller Overselling

Posted by Napa, 07-24-2004, 06:21 PM
Hi, I just bought a reseller hosting today & when I go to create new account in whm, it shows Account Resource Limits Resource Max Allowed Remaining Disk Space (Overselling!) 1000 Megabytes 0.23 (Used) 999.77 Bandwidth (Overselling!) 10000 Megabytes 0 (Used) 10000 Is this OK because its showing overselling. also wont it cause any problems ? Thanks

I think that means overselling is enabled or overselling is not enabled and you have allocated more resources than you have.

I tried to create 3 acs with 999 mb each and it worked whereas the total space is 1gb only so it means that i can sell more than the amt of space i have ? also before i made these accounts the message was still there but i had only a 100mb main account, why was the message still there then ? does this cause any problem ?

No problem there. It means you can create accounts that total more then your reseller plan size, however you are still limited to your plan size when it comes to actual usage.

So it means I can use it & it wont cause any trouble, right ? Thanks.

if your actual usage goes over your limit, you may have some trouble yes.

No I wont go over limit. I think it wont let me go over that. . What I wanted to know if it will cause any problem while setting up the acs now and I think it wont. Thanks all

It won't cause any problems, it just means you can create accounts over your usual limit of HD space and bandwidth.

If you go over the actual usage linmit, you just pay for it. Simple as that and nothing wrong with overselling.

In fact most hosts out there are doing it too...

A quick question though, how will you come to know that your Reseller Host is overselling or not.

Instinct and experience.

its good when you have 20gb full of accounts but only 4 gb of space is taken up
