Lodging Companies
In the industry of lodging of sites ' ' Overselling' ' it is the used term to define when a company supplies services and resources that, if in data moment all its customers used of the totality of the announced services would occur an unsustainable situation that would take the critical failures in the server. Normally ' ' overselling' ' it says respect to the use of space in record and to the monthly traffic of data. For example: If a company of hosting makes use of 100Gb of space in the server and has 20 customers supplying to each customer 5Gb of space, then the company is practising ' ' overselling' '.
