Aparently so. There are other companies in the US providing similar 
services. 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.
