Webhosting industry is getting over populated and you can see many webhost offering you hosting services are ridiculously low prices, which we can’t expect to get reliable hosting services at such dirt cheap prices. Such webhost who offer very cheap hosting services are likely to be engaged in Overselling webhosting business. Its a lame marketing policy just to attract newbie webmasters who are looking for getting more server resources at dirt cheap prices. You can consider Overselling as webhosting business policy when a hosting company sells more disk space and bandwidth on a server than actually exists. For example, say the server is oversold by only 50GB of storage/bandwidth. Overselling is not really an issue here since the amount is small and most sites on the server aren’t using all of their allocated resources. However, say the server is oversold by 1000GB of storage/bandwidth. In this situation server performance will degrade and will start facing issues and even go offline if enough sites are using their allocated resources.
Its always suggested to be away from such Oversellers, you should research for potential hosting companies at few popular webhosting forums like Web Hosting Talk or Freewebforums, Digitalpoint etc… webmaster over such website hosting forums have good experience in webhosting world and will help you to choose one who is reliable and honest webhost. You should also stay away from webhost who claim to offer you 50GB diskspace + 100GB bandwidth just for $1 / month then such webhost are into Overselling business and you should overlook such untrustworthy host, they usually offer you such features just to lure in new innocent customers.
Thus you should do your research and avoid such webhosting overseller before signing up for web hosting services else you may end up paying more for getting better services from such overseller webhost.
