While i don't do this widely (too little money, too much work to advertise etc.) i have 20 clients on my servers just having their FreeBSD jail for 100$/month. There is 20GB "soft" limit - where soft means that you generally can keep more, but if i will have space problems i will ask to free some space. The important question is traffic generated, not disk space, as this is what's expensive. I just can't understand the basis of their offers.
