WHOIS check up an website currently hosted on their web servers. See when clicking server stats, it should say how many websites are hosted on the server. Anything above 50 i'd say is pretty much overselling, so if they do claim to be semi-dedicated, you should check it up with them.
Are you saying any "shared" host with more than 50 domain per servers is overselling or only apply to "Semi-Dedicated"?

Its really depend on machine through but 50 domain per shared servers is quite low.

This means the client can add as much domains as he/she wants. If this member adds 50 domains/websites then the Rating: 5
