"No Overselling" means you are not allowed – or able - to allocate more resources (such as disk space and bandwidth) than what's available to your reseller account. For example:
If you had a Large reseller package (200GB bandwidth, 20GB diskspace, 100 account limit), you would only be able to allocate a maximum of 200GB's worth of bandwidth in total to your clients packages. So to create 100 equal hosting accounts, each package would be assigned 20GB bandwidth. However, you are able to create your own custom packages to offer your customers a variety of low, medium and high levels of bandwidth, on the provision that the total never exceeds your account allocation.

Why prevent overselling?

At Market Hosting we prevent Overselling to ensure we are able to provide our customers with quality. If we were to permit Overselling it would cause problems for the servers and therefore for our customers. Overselling, and effectively offering unlimited bandwidth and disk space can, and will result in diminished quality of your hosting service as there is only so much disk space and bandwidth available to a server. By imposing a strict “No Overselling” we can insure that our servers are never over capacity and serving more accounts than it can optimally handle, thereby ensuring maximum uptime and quality to our clients.
