Correct, I'm using cPanel/WHM which is a software using Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP 
to sell hosting for web and E-mail. It does a good job in my opinion giving 
you the tools needed to do that. I have a shared hosting server that is 
normally very good for all the customers on it, but I have a few sites that 
occasionally use up all 250 MaxClients for themselves and leave no available 
connections for the other paying customers.

I have questions/suggestions in with cPanel to add that functionality to their 
software if it's possible. I'm also researching if I can add that manually 
while waiting for them to figure it out. Better service for all my customers 
is my goal and also being able to actually provide the service I sell.
