Default Is overselling aloud?

Is overselling aloud in Reseller Central? Lets say I sign-up TEN 5GB accounts. If all ten customers were to max out their storage, I would hit 50GB, or double my allotted space. I would be doing this assumin 90% of my customers will only use 10% of the space. But if my customers were to use more space and take me over my own allotment, what would happen? Would I automatically get charges by H9 for the extra storage or would my account be suspended?

Overselling isn't allowed in RC - at least when I asked upon launch day.

You wouldn't be able to sign up ten 5 gig accounts because you're only limited to whatever your account limits are. So if you have 25gigs of space, you could only sign up five 5gig accounts, even if they don't use it.

Actually, overselling is allowed. It was added sortly after RC was launched.
I asked the same question on both the forum and but submitting a support ticket.
And the response i got was:

As of now it just will not allow you to create an additional accounts if you tried to or modify limits. We will be coding it into the software to where it keeps track of overages and invoices for them. That is after we notify you of course.

But what will happen if I, as a reseller using Receller Central, were to exceed my storage or bandwidth allotment as a result of my clients? Would I just get billed for the extra usage or would my site along with my clients' sites be taken down until I manually purchase more space?

As far as I know, it is you business and as such it is your responsibility to monitor and insure that you have the resources added to your account that will be available for your customers to use...

Just like H9 haas to have the servers available as these are not automatically added - you have to take care of your business.

I think H9 has the auto suspend enabled so you must pre-purchase what you think your business requires
