    I think this is called overselling.

    Well, first off, honesty is a MUST for a web hosting company. If you lie, it'll come back to bite you.

    Also, depending on skin, how much bandwidth they have is displayed I think.

    I think you can select "limit bandwidth usage" and limit individual account bandwidth, but not space in WHM. (I think the option can override the plan's bandwidth setting, though I haven't tried.)

    I suppose you could hack things but that is very dishonest and I feel sorry for anyone who decides to host with you. Displaying one thing to fool your clients but giving them something else is really rotten.

    True. It is very dishonest. You should find a host who has the overselling feature enabled or get a managed server

    I believe that you should be honest with your customers, but to answer your question.

    "How can my clients see it 30GB by there Cpane ??"

    If the host that you are reselling through has hit the little checkbox next to "allow overselling" when your account was setup. then you can create pacakages with 30GB bandwidth. You will just get a nasty message saying that you are overselling! +100000 or something like that.

    With my resellers, this is something that i have enabled per request to give them the appearance of being able offer more than they have. The catch is that they should keep an eye on them to make sure that it is not exceeded.

    Example:

    You have a 1GB space and 50 GB bandwidth reseller plan.

    You want to host 10 domains, and ofer them 100MB space and20 GB bw.

    If your reseller plan doesnt have overselling enabled. You can create only 2 of those account. the limit is based on creation usage

    If your reseller plan has overselling enabled, you can create as much as you want. the limit is based on ACTUAL usage

    This would explain why some hosts are offering 10 gb bw and other offer 30 gb bandwidth for the same price..

    If you are looking for a host that allows this, then you should make a post in requests. (i think)
