So clients who want root access for the server cannot consider reseller hosting as an option for them. Also, some of the web hosting providers are not kind to clients who have the reseller hosting with them as, if any of the clients resell the resources in a high amount then this will overload the server and hence the website of other clients will get affected due to this. Other clients who are hosted on the same server will be unhappy as their website is slow and this might result in a loss of his customers. So, web hosts suspend the account of the client who is causing the server to overload.
