Nothing in their FAQs about getting more space or bandwidth either;
just a list of remarkably low limits.  ..and upload to your own
website counts against your usage allowance AND your internet access
allowance??  That's just being greedy!   Are you using them for a
particular reason, or just because they do your internet connection?
There are certainly lots of cheap suppliers of hosting out there that
offer much more space for very little money. E.g. I use this lot
currently:  http://www.relichost.net/hosting/index.html   and not had
any problems, unlike with several others I tried..
