That is how it seems to me.. Anyway.. Give me some more info..
Although I have only used 245.64 Megabytes of my 2 GB of space on the Deluxe plan, I like the idea of having a little more room if it is ever needed. However, my prime reason is to have a little more flexibility with installing programs that are not offered through scripta. I currently use moodle (moodle.org) to teach my online courses. This is an open source software program that is updated 2-3 times a year. Because the shared servers don't allow for teriary unzipping, it gets to be a real hassle since I need to unzip everything to my local hard drive and then copy things over, etc.
