Overselling is fine actually

Look, I work in this space. I see the numbers. Budget hosts at $3/month need density to exist. Here's the reality:

  • Server costs don't scale linearly with users
  • Idle resources help no one
  • 10:1 oversell with proper monitoring beats 2:1 with none

The problem isn't overselling. It's bad overselling. Noisy neighbors, no limits, no accountability.

If every host provisioned honestly, your $3 plan becomes $15. Then everyone complains about that instead.

I've got data on this if anyone wants actual numbers. Happy to share specs via DM.
