Okay, I don't want to get into discussing overselling space and or bandwidth, but I'd like to know something...

I've read about people wanting to oversell using WHM, but there is no feature for this. But, wouldn't creating accounts and setting them up with Unlimited space/bandwidth be some sort of a solution to this? I'm sure you would have to keep a close watch on each accounts usage though.

What we do is set up each account with 999999999 MB of diskspace & bandwidth and just constantly monitor the actual usage of each account. Of course if a feature was added to cPanel, it would make this a lot easier, however, it has been in the request line for quite a while now.

Monitoring each account will be very difficult. Some quota will have to be fixed initially and provision made for request of new space allocation.

Say Cpanel has a bug or something and the quota's aren't correct. Then your screwed. LOL :D

1. What do quota's have to do with cpanel?
2. We run fixquotas nightly in a cron, haven't had any problems yet.
