Of course it sounds too good to be true, and it was. That's why I called
them on the phone. They DID say "500GB for $6.95 a month" on the top page
of their website, after all. I suspect that as time goes on, as more people
have more of a need to back up "big stuff" - 4GB movies and such - and
attempt to take advantage of 500GB come-ons like IXwebhosting's, those
offers will disapear, or at least become clearer, without having to dig
through the TOS.

Drives are cheap. I make use of big drives at home. The reason I want the
500GB online is for offsite backup, to protect against losing files in a
disaster. I suppose I could burn DVDs and put them in a fireproof safe, or
mail them to my Mom, or bury them in the back yard, or get a safe deposit
box, or whatever.
