It still says that you get 10GB of bandwidth on the 100GB plan…

Even with shared downloads they shouldn’t expect it to be used like Amazon S3, MySpace of flickr

To all of you whining about unlimited bandwidth, don’t purchase the service. You’re almost assuredly the abusers anyways, and you’ll just play the victim when you are removed after transferring 20TB+ for consecutive months even after being warned.

Save us all the drama ;)

A few years ago while running a “virtual idols” competition I did about 50 Gigs of downloads of mp3 files (back in the early 2000’s). At R 0.42c a meg it was no laughing matter.

I know choosing a random worst worst worst worst worst case scenario can be silly in certain cases. Hopefully I will never be that popular when I start my podcast.

Open Bandwidth Limits can maybe be an alternative name.

“Our bandwidth limits are open, you wont be charged, and you will be warned before any action is taken, if you are considered to be abusing the system.”

I of course think this is all implied to any reasonable person. But some people evidently aren’t reasonable.

Shared hosting isn’t going away.

>> “no demise for shared hosting. Instead, the coming rise of Connector hosting.”

Connector hosting is great and I’m really excited, but I would also like to become a TextDrive customer and be able to install WordPress or development my own web framework and host it there.

It seems like TextDrive is changing directions from being a web hosting company to becoming a (web) application services company.

Not that I’m complaining, it just would be nice to have an option to host web content at TextDrive in the future without purchasing an expensive Accelerator.

If you’re doing it every month.

Is this abuse?
