Some reseller hosts promise huge space and bandwidth because they know most customers don't use as nearly as they signed up with their hosting account. But if you really need an amount of space or bandwidth you thought you were entitled to, there might be a problem.
but with master reseller you need to provide the client enough so he can separate to resell reseller or shared plans.
Not always, if you know how to manage these and servers you can run without saturating servers.
When i offered Master Reseller Plans the servers i placed them on were locked off at 40% , so giving enough space for Master Resellers to offer reasonable services. also i limited MR to how many resellers they could offer and how many shared accounts their resellers could offer, so i knew how many accounts at max. a server would have.
Yes you are right here, you can't oversell like you do with some other shared plans etc. Master reseller clients actually use the resources they purchase as overselling is enabled in both master reseller and resell levels so in order to keep the servers stable the provider must not oversell.
Master Reseller is soon in for a radical change.
CloudLinux is adding a "Reseller Level" Maximum CPU usage level, this will help with controlling overselling.
We don't support beyond a standard Reseller, but it will be interesting to see how such accounts will work when CL adds CPU limits at the reseller level and not just the user level.
We were promised this end of Q3, so it must be coming soon.
Master Resellers are no-no if you really want a stable server. Master Resellers will overload the node and i would advise going with a managed WHM server instead.

read this post What do you think about Master Reseller? not everyone is confident to use a server. you can easily offer Master Reseller plans and control just as you do with shared or reseller plans without overselling, it just takes a little bit more work.
I've never really liked the idea of going beyond Reseller hosting.
CloudLinux has recently introduced Reseller Limits, so the host can put a limit cap on the resources that a reseller's users can use in total.
I've yet to see what this means in practice for Master and Alpha resellers as the technology is too new.
It could mean that this becomes stable and easy to manage and I might change my opinion.
Meanwhile, I sleep better at night knowing that a single reseller cannot bring down a server, no matter how busy their sites get.
