w3 Church Host does not make a practice of "overselling" as most web hosts do. Web hosts
know that the majority of websites will only use up a single Megabyte or two of space,
and even if a site would like to be popular and use up multiple Gigabytes of bandwidth, it likely
won't happen. So, they "oversell" their space knowing that it won't get used, and if a client does
use up all the bandwidth they offer, they have fine print that allows them to remove the client.
In contrast, I want all of the churches I host to use up their storage space by storing
their sermon archives. So, I fully expect every site I host to use up all of their allocated resources.
As a result, it looks like you're getting less. In reality, though, you are simply getting the truth.

We host a large site with:
- 180 MB of space used
- over 1000 "registered" users
- ranks #2 in Google™ for targeted keywords
In the first 24 days of January 2008 according to their AWstats, there were 4050 "unique visitors"
and 228,127 page hits. However, even with all of that, the
website's traffic for those numbers was only 1.06 GB of bandwidth. With that in mind, even large and mega churches
should start out with the small or medium hosting account and only upgrade as their sermon archive grows
to a size where the extra space is needed. 250 MB can store over 25 sermons (~30 min, 32kbps mono
mp3)...so around 6 months of archives...slightly less for "annointed" pastors ;-)
