Yeah, interesting that.It seems that he was using shared hosting and claiming to be a full Tier 1 mirror for centOS.
Basically, Bluehost was found to be hosting more than 30 different mirrors for centOS, netBSD, fedora, etc, from various customers. Mirroring those large repos daily pounds sufficiently to cause problems for other customers on the shared host.
Most of the customers that want to be repos do not understand what it takes to be a repo, and are perfectly happy with making the host deal with the issues.
Bluehost is setting up a public mirror for centOS and ubuntu, with possibly more; they don't need dozens of copies of that same repo causing a large number of problems for a large number of customers.
