I have been shopping around for a new host for my 4 sites (with <2GB of
files total). I came across www.ixwebhosting.com and saw that they offer
"500 GB Web Space" for $6.95/month. That's dramatically more than the 5GB
my current host gives. Not to mention the 3.5TB of monthly throughput. Oh
boy. I began to get visions of storing hard drive backups, mapped Z drives
on my PCs, etc, etc, to make use of that 500GB. I gave them a call. The
rep on the phone tells me that the 500GB must be used for "web-accessible"
files only, that are part of my websites, and that I cannot use the space
for stored files. So then, I could use the 500GB for thousands of pages of
pictures of my cat, but can't use the space to park backup files? That
just ain't right. Is it reasonable to advertise "500GB web space" without
adding that little disclaimer? Or should I just know better?
