Reseller Hosting - What It Is and How It Works
= 1 Web siteIn order for a Web site to be seen, it must be hosted on one or more servers. Think of a server in terms of a city. If you purchase or build a house (your Web site), you must also find a suitable plot of land on which to place it (server space).
A reseller account allows you to own a large block of resources on a server, which will then allow you to manage multiple sites as you see fit or host sites for your own Web hosting customers. Instead of owning a single plot of land in Server City, you own an entire neighborhood.
Many Web hosts oversell their server resources. When a host oversells, it is relying on its customers not to use all their allocated resources. Imagine if you owned an entire neighborhood, only to discover a neighboring allotment was using your land for storage. Maybe there's enough space to go around, but it becomes the responsibility of the host to manage the allocation of overpromised resources carefully, and this introduces an inherent element of risk into the hosting equation.
EquentityHost does not oversell. The activities of one client will never compromise the ability for another client to access his or her disk space or allocated data transfer resources.
