Could be the nature of the beast - I think Webfaction runs from ThePlanet Texas. (=EV1=British private equity?) These big boys who offer virtually unlimited "bandwidth" (I wish people would call it volume) on the low end plans are like motorways as a "solution" to traffic problems - motorways are not a solution bcause they attract cars. Nobody can use a terabyte but what happens is the shared server usage increases until processor (memory) becomes the limiting factor. =K=
