I'm using the lite plan at the moment for my website. I'm thinking about starting to host the SourceTV demo files for my server on the website for players to download. My server is currently set to autorecord each match, so for an entire days worth of matches for an extended period of time this could get rather large.
The plan description says you get an unlimited amount of disk space, but there is no such thing as unlimited. So I'm curious, at what point will I start getting angry emails about how much storage I'm eating up on the webhost?
How Unlimited is Unlimited Disk Space?

Re: How Unlimited is Unlimited Disk Space?
Unlimited means unlimited, and if drive space runs low, we can add more. SourceTV demos don't take up too much space anyhow, unless you leave autorecord on 24/7, but even then, most of those demos would be empty with no players on if you aren't running matches all the time.

Autorecord is on, and the server is full about 16 hours a day. It's approximately 350MB of demos per day uncompressed. I would compress them before uploading but that still seems like it would become a sizable amount before long. That would be awesome if it were okay, but I wanted to make sure that is the case before doing any further planning.

Worst case situation is that we would have to work something out with you if space starts running low and we need more time to work on a solution, but no angry emails about it.

If your solution uses less than something like 50 GB, it likely won't even be a blip on our radar.
