Not a solution, but hopefully just an explanation. They're probably trying to stave off inode limitations of their chosen filesystem. Filesystems have a maximum number of files placed upon them at formatting time, and it's a nightmare if they run out of inodes. I run a proxy for informationfreeway, and it used to do a Gig a day of traffic. The cache would fill up with millions of files, and could easily eat up all the available inodes within a couple of weeks. Free space was still in the tens of Gigabytes range, but no new files could be created.

Re: [OSM-talk] Slippymap Hosting Recommendations
Yes, I just signed up. To get that price, you have to make a 2 year commitment. I think it was $7.95/month for a 1 year commitment. I also asked them, and they say that they don't have any inode limits like many hosing providers. Thanks for the info, Andy.

I guess they rely on the fact that most users will never really use so much space and bandwidth. Then there is also the 'catchall' clause where you are only allowed to use an hour (or so) CPU time a day. Your site is move to another server when you go over the limit and will be closely monitored. If that happens often you can/will be removed from their hosting. Bottom line is: They can set such generous limits because there are only very few applications that can really use 1.5 TB space and 15TB bandwidth without crossing the daily CPU time limit. The very few that do are a selling point to the majority that don't. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Hey Jeremey Do you have a link for this clause? Well, I looked it up for the one such hoster I've been looking at before: Dreamhost. They used to have a 'hard' CPU policy but have changed that since. Hoster: http://www.dreamhost.com Blog about CPU restrictions: http://blog.dreamhosters.com/2006/06/01/cpu-minute-restrictions-removed/ So I was a bit too harsh in my last paragraph, but it appears from the comments that having a popular WordPress blog is enough to classify you as a heavy user... The first paragraph remains though, hosters like Dreamhost oversell their bandwidth and diskspace. Looking at Hostmonter however gives a different picture: They seem to have a more hard CPU usage limit where they even shutdown a site sometimes: http://helpdesk.hostmonster.com/kb/index.php?x=mod_id=2id=361 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

The NL tileserver has a few layers, but it only takes about 1GB. Remember, most of your diskspace goes into the highest zoom level, which is precisely the level that renders the fastest...
