Unlimited Resources

Would it be possible to create an account on a dedicated server with unlimited resources? I've noticed that when you go to create an account through WHM it has the option of selecting a package or assigning whatever resources. Under some fields like bandwidth, ftp/email accounts, etc. it automatically puts in "unlimited" in the field. Is it possible to actually do that? I know that you can't go above what your dedicated plan allows, but could you make an account that's flexible instead of a set package?

Yes, you can leave an account on your dedicated server as unlimited resources no problem.

Personally I would set a higher then normal limit rather then keeping unlimited resources on multiple accounts. It is kinda sloppy and particularly not good from a server management perspective IMO.

I agree, you can always increase the resources necessary if you had to, but it makes for much easier monitoring and management to not go unlimited. Just my $0.02, though.
