Do you have a limit on how many "units" your resellers can sell? If so, do you have multiple levels so that someone exceeding the limit can move up?
When we had reseller accounts, the resellers were only limited based on the bandwidth and disk space provided. If they wanted to squeee several dozen accounts into their space, that was their choice to do so - however we didn't allow overselling of the limits either, so they paid very close attention to things.
Nowadays, our resellers are all on VPS servers, and as such set their own limits (aside from disk space and the massive bandwidth allotment we provide). They are allowed to oversell as everything is contained on one machine.
Yes we have limits to how many 'sub accounts' a reseller can have, but these are not set in stone, as any of our resellers can ask us through a ticket to increase these limits, .
That is unlimited on the installment plan! For someone who enjoys bashing unlimited hosts for offering the same thing, or who advises people to stay away from hosts that do not specify limits, this is nothing but bold-faced hypocrisy. You can't have your cake and eat it to :smash:

no its not, resellers have limits set, they can ask us to increase then and we may or may not increase them. if it was unlimited then clients would not need to ask
What difference does if make if you have to tick a box, send an email or make a phone call? If you can obtain hosting resources without limit then its unlimited -- even if you have to pay for it. If there is a limit to what you can ask for you should specify the limit. Isn't this what you have been trying to teach everyone?
Its not that I don't like this method of requesting additional resource. I am just pointing out the inconsistency of using the logic of unlimited hosting to an allegedly limited plan, while claiming there no such thing as unlimited.

My definition of unlimited is just unlimited disk space and bandwidth. [unlimited] Email accounts and [unlimited]MySQL databases don't really count.

Most resellers wont use over 30-50 accts tops but always keep your plans unlimited for selling value. Nearly all of them go into it thinking they will sell hundreds so if you have limits on how many accts they can set up, you will only lose potential business.
Also depends on if they allow you to oversell or not which puts less physical limits on your account!
