Multiple Linodes

I offer a service to my customers to have their own hosting. If I set up a linode for each customer do they impact each other? In other words, if Customer "A" gets the Linode 1024 plan and Customer "B" gets the Linode 4096 plan, and Customer "A" exceeds their bandwidth or storage does it effect Customer "B"?

They cannot exceed their storage - it's simply not possible. If they manage to exceed the global transfer quota for your account, you will be invoiced for $0.10/GB of outbound data outside of the allocated quota. The workaround is to have more Linodes to increase the pooled transfer quota.

Thank you Rohara. Setting the space aside, so the transfer is an extra .10 per GB but each Linode is on its' own? So if Customer A exceeds the transfer limit they don't affect Customer B? Is that right?

The limit is pooled per account, so if Linode A has a 3TB and Linode B has a 5TB limit then you'd be able to use 8TB combined before being charged extra.
