No they cant, they are a virtual WHM reseller client on a Shared WHM server. You cant rsync individual accounts when using WHM. You can howerver tarball them and then send that tarball over ftp to another host.

Even on a normal host, if you have 500 gigsa month, it is exoected that that bw will be used OVER the month, not on one single day ...

I agree. I also don't understand people who are doing "mission critical" (in their minds atleast) hosting on a $10/month virtual account. If your website is your life, why would you only be paying $10/mo for your hosting? It just doesnt make sense to me.

Cpanel makes it very easy to do an individual site backup/restore. That feature was in fact turned on and to 99% of the $10/mo hosting companies out there, that is your solution. Remember, we arent talking fully managed solution here. We are talking low end virtual hosting.

Joel, your telling me you never once had a client who you used too many resources however let him go because the server was not full yet? As the server begins to fill up or as other client's sites on the same server became more active everyone must share at that point. A majority of hosting companies will let people do what they wish until the shared server becomes full, then they will begin to cut down people. Also I agree with you that the customer is always right, however most customers have no clue about server resources or even how to run a server (especially if they are buying a virtual account for $9.99/month) Therefore, those people really need to listen to their support reps when they say upgrades are needed. If they cannot afford to upgrade then its their problem and they will just be bouncing around day after day to a new hosting company. Plus DWHS gave the customer access to use individual CPanel backup system. That is what any other hosting company would have done.
