The overselling issue
Great article on WHReviews.com and great thread on WHT about overselling.
If your server has a 80GB hard disk, will you sell only 80 x 1GB accounts? Or will you sell more assuming that not everyone will use its full 1GB space?
My opinion is that overselling is everywhere in our day to day life. The electricity company does not assume you will use all of the electricity power they give you, the phone or cellphone company does not assume you will use your phone 24 hours per day and the web hosting company does not assume you will use all of your available bandwidth and disk space.
Overselling is not bad … but excessive overselling is a big problem that gives a bad reputation to the overselling business model in general. Read WHReviews’s article to learn more !
