Yes because every Host has a 48GB Node and allocates 1TB of Memory. to oversell OpenVZ VPS to the masses of trolls.
WTF is wrong with the moderators.

Ask ColoCrossing (@jbiloh & @sysadmin), they own ChicagoVPS, BlueVM, and 123systems. Also, @Francisco used to do some of this in the past. Do a good search here and you'll find some details.
Thanks! I was looking for the perfect business plan and that is it. Will contact you for a lowend box listing soon.

There's no such thing as "overselling". The whole concept of overselling is that there is a limit on the acceptable number of sales for a business to make. There is no such thing! You're supposed to sell as much as possible.
10VM with a pentium 4 vs 100vm on a e5, I choose the latter.
Overselling does not mean what you seem to think it means. It's not an inherently negative term.
For example, it's very common for airlines to oversell flights. They don't do it simply because they're greedy, but because there will almost always be some passengers who don't show up for their flight. Empty seats don't generate revenue and so airlines have a choice: charge everyone more to make up for no-shows, or take a guess at how many people won't show up and oversell that many seats.
Most airlines choose the latter, and their guesses are usually very good: 99.9% of the time (that's the actual 2014 number in the US) nobody has to be bumped. I think most people would agree that's a good tradeoff for lower prices.
So here's my point: overselling not only is a thing, but done right it's a good thing -- for both businesses and consumers. That applies to web services every bit as much as it does airlines.
Until it crashes of course.

No, it is before the IP address pool finish
No, it's common for airlines to overbook flights.
This is exactly my point, directed at everyone who uses the term "overselling" when they mean either oversubscription (of bandwidth, cpu cycles, or I/O bandwidth) or overcommit (of memory).
It is never bad to make additional sales per se (provided you can add the hardware and upstream commit needed to not makes such sales oversubscribed or overcommited). Thus use of the term "overselling" should be strongly discouraged.
interested for each buyer, keep secreted for each saler
On behalf of LET can I invite you to breakfast
WOW>_< 48 to 1TB, this is raping
wow, LET's owner is ChicagoVPS, BlueVM, 123systems' owner
this is a news for me.
umm, your point is new. yeah VPS users never use 100% of CPU.
Don't forget ugvps and all the other VPS companies CVPS refused to acknowledge ownership, as well as HVH.
Where is my Subway bro?
@NexHost get up north and it's on me
Almost every industry has its own term for "good" overselling. Airlines call it overbooking, telcos call it oversubscribing, universities call it overenrolling. This thread makes it obvious why companies do that and I certainly can't blame them -- I mean, we publicly call it overbooking in my industry, too.
But I know, and everyone I work with knows, that overselling is the universal and original term, and when we're talking business behind closed doors we call it what it is.
So I get that you don't like the word. But not liking it doesn't negate the fact that it's an old term with a specific and well-defined meaning.
I really hope you are not serious.
You see that "part of the VSNX family" in the footer?
I think he referred to the 'this is a news for me' part...
this is so funny
LET ------------> a community which tells people to avoid GVH/CVPS/123systems
LET's owner ---------------> these 3's owner
lololol
WAIT WHEN DID GVH OWN LET o.O
but GVH/CVPS/123system/LET's owner are all ColoCrossing(TMD)
Since when belongs GVH to CC, I don't believe that.
well, Colocrossing seems the US version of OVH.
