Looking for Overselling on WHM

I used Ninehost with Overselling on WHM, but now they changed their policy and do not allow overselling on WHM servers. They only offer overselling on their own reseller central control panel.
So, I have to find other company with overselling enabled feature for some my accounts. Could you recommend me any reliable company?

I'd hazard to say most WHM-based hosting would allow overselling - it sounds like you found one of the few aberrations. My advice would be to check places like the Offers forum here at WHT and go from there. You can always research the provider to find reviews. If you find a provider that you like, and are unsure about the ability to oversell, just go ask them.

Overselling enabled is pretty common in most of the hosts offering reseller packages, I suggest you to start a new search and just in case contact to this hosts before to order, to be sure that they have it.

I have to correct the name of the company, my current hosting provider is HostNine.
I used their server more than 2 years, but recently they changed policy. Very strange . Overselling is very important for me.

I recommend Hostdime. If your budget is low and you don't need phone support when Surpasshosting may be one of the best choice for you. We have a lot of reseller accounts on both of them for years. Their services are good and very similar(Hostdime support is little better).

"Overselling enabled" apparently means you'll have the number of accounts limited (not that the limit is exactly incapacitating):

If you require overselling to be enabled on your Reseller Account, we will need to restrict the max # of accounts you can create to 100.

In any case, overselling is not enabled by default:

4) Do you allow resellers to oversell?
It is not enabled by default, but you can request this feature to be enabled via our helpdesk.

From what I understand, when overselling is enabled in WHM it allows resellers to go over there Disk and BW Quota, So why would many hosts allow this. Slightly off topic sorry.

Because overselling is a major part of the business, used to market to the uneducated masses, for the most part. I am not talking about well-managed overselling, which is completely different. I am referring to the majority who use uncontrolled overselling to make a quick buck.

It simply lets them allocate more then they have, it doesn't let them use more then they have.
But I've heard before that WHM doesn't count the Disk Space and/or Bandwidth for the Resellers created accounts. Maybe someone can fill this part in.

I have been reading up on this and it seems resellers can use more than they actually have if overselling is enabled in whm.
