Hi,

We like to enable "Overselling Allowed" setting to our resellers, so we tested with creating test reseller account.

Here is what we did

Domain.com(main domain of “reseller”) with reseller user name "reseller" and set resource limit under this reseller account, 4000MB diskspace and 607MB bandwidth with "Overselling Allowed" checked. And assigned 3000MB diskspace and 30GB bandwidth to domain.com

And downloaded dummy files from this domain.com and it went over 700MB bandwidth and waited until bandwidth statistic is updated... and now..

even it's over 607MB bandwidth, this account/domain is still able to load...it suppose to show "bandwidth exceed" page, right? And it worked when we tested cpanel(individual) account.

Also after exceed the bandwidth when we tried to create account under this reseller account by login as "reseller", it still allow us to create account even "Create a New Account" page shows that bandwidth is exceed....

Are we missing something?

Thanks

If you enable overselling, of course cPanel will allow you to create additional accounts and go over the set limits. Is that what you wanted confirmation on... or have I misread your question?

PS: All of those font + size tags = really unnecessary.

Yes, but why account/site is not stopping even it reached reseller's resource limit?

thanks
