Any bandwidth usage restrictions come along with that? Most I've looked at have bandwidth caps between 1-15GB transfer limit/month. A lot of "cheap" webhosting options out there are nothing more than a box with low-end high-capacity IDE drives stuck into a co-lo facility with shared/limited bandwidth available. While you wouldn't be out that much money if things go wrong, you also can't have very high expectations of customer service or support. While current hard drive space is cheap, redundant drive arrays, and backups that can come anywhere near that type of capacity is not. Factors like redundancy, backup, accesss speed, and support costs all have to be factored in to how much should be charged for the available space. Not sure of the number of users with access, but my guess is that it's huge. -Russell Tim Potter wrote: > Looks great. Nice new features. > > Can you tell us if there's any chance that addtl.
