1 GB Disk Space

LxAdmin 100 Domain-License (5 GB Disk Space required) for free

Very nice, a control panel you can't use.

Also, seems like people are confusing mBIT and mbPS? That package is 1mbps = 8MBITs

No,

1Mbps = 1 megabit per second

1MBps = 1 megabyte per second = 8 megabits per second.

bit = lower case "b"
byte = upper case "B"

There is no overselling. Hosts have 8GB RAM, 400GB HDD and Core 2 Duo CPU. Each vps get´s it guaranteed ram and hdd. cpu-usage is not limited.

Each vps has a LxAdmin-License included, no matter how much HDD you have.

If you don`t know what´s mbps, I don´t know how you run a webhosting company.

Traffic is espacially cheap in germany. See for example 1and1.com. They offer vps in germany USD $ 10 less than in the usa.

How can we know that as simple by standers? Just because the server is powerful, it doesn't mean that there is no overselling.

How is that not oversold then?

I define oversold for example: 9gb ram sold to customer, even they currently use maybe only 7gb ram and server has only 8gb ram.

My host are never used fully or over what resources they have.

I do not understand what you mean with "cpu-usage is not limited." - "How is that not oversold then?" ? That´s just the same like webhosting. If you do webhosting and there also no cpu-usage-limit, then you do overselling there!?

Maybe you just wait, if a customer complains here about overselling and not getting what he´s paying for. But I think, you might wait a long time.

More basic VPS hosts should get into the habit of Xen. Then there will truly be no overselling...

But good old fashioned calculations never go to waste either

Ooops, got my M's and m's wrong. But still:

1 megabyte per second = 8 megabites per second

A potential customer wrote me today, that I am to expensive and he found an unmetered managed vps for only 0,99 Euro and gave me the Link

Such prices are possible on a bad network, or if they are selling at a loss to attract customers.

All it takes is for a few customers to actually use lots of bandwidth and you'll see the performance of that VPS crash. Unmetered may also mean they don't have the ability to meter bandwidth in a VPS (very bad sign).

Why not buy one less coffee every month and get a good VPS?
