Bandwidth Overcommitment

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Bandwidth Over commitment is a case where the dedicated or vps web page hosting provider crams as many servers as possible on however much bandwidth that they have. This can work out if the overselling portion is handled correctly and properly optimized to not let anyone go over the edge and bring down the entire network, but this rarely ever is kept on check.
Thanks to Bandwidth over commitment, we get complains on dedicated server forums, especially on the ever so powerful Web page hosting talk. This is the main culprit behind the building of a broken network that canft improve nor can it go bad. This is especially true if you don’t take care of abusers on the network after committing this act. It becomes so rampant that normal, honest customers of your service may end up without service and as a result, might be forced to consider another provider. So, think twice before overselling your links.
