Hello,

A bit confused about this overselling feature in WHM.

I set up a reseller with the following specs (2GB Disk Space and 20 GB Bandwidth).

Next I gave him reseller privileges, and I chose to limit his resources to 2000 MB Disk Space and 20 GB Bandwidth (in Edit Privileges section) with the overselling option ticked.

So I just want to understand something:

When my reseller creates his accounts, he can oversell. But once his resource usage exceeds the amount that I originally set for him (while creating his account in WHM), then his account will be suspended correct -- so he can oversell, but he cannot use more than what I allocated him?

Also, I do not give the resellers ownership of their own account -- that is not a problem is it? If I did give them ownership and they went and modified their own *main* account to have more than 2GB disk space/20 GB bandw, this wouldnt override my main account limit set in WHM -- or will it?

Thanks :)

Any takers?

I don't believe that it will overwrite the setting in the reseller privileges area.

We give the reseller control of the main account. Control is the key. ;)

Nopes, it's just like overselling. They can change it but it doesn't affect the WHM setting.
