As a result they throttled one of my sites from then on despite my pointing out that it was merely one bot. I also noticed that they screwed around with some of my sites by adding "robots.txt" and various entries. In addition I had a database grow to about 1 GB. At that point they seemed to have capped it or something. I stayed with them for a while because I didn't care too much about those sites ad they were dirt cheap. But if you care at all and get more than 250 visitors a day to all your sites there, I would highly advise not using them.
