Overselling policy
Defines whether a reseller can sell more resources than allocated to
them with the plan.
If overselling is allowed, a reseller is governed by actual resource
usage instead of initial resource allocation. Overselling is a marketing
strategy based on the following scheme: a reseller, who was allotted,
for example, ten gigabytes of disk space, allocates five gigabytes of
disk space for each of their customers, assuming that none of them will
actually use all of their allocated disk space.
Customers
Defines the total number of customer accounts that a reseller can
create.
Other Resources
Note: Other resources have the same meaning as the ones defined in the
hosting plans and subscriptions. The only difference is that a
reseller does not use the provided resources directly, but
redistributes them by means of service subscriptions they create for
their customers or for hosting their own websites.
