That's upsetting
Every now and then you see these products which appear to exist only to exploit the fact that people don't realize they're buying a deliberately downgraded product -- email appliances and whatnot.
Well, spread me with mint jelly, cause I been fleeced. I decided to do some comparison shopping because my web host charges extra for mySQL, and it appears that for the amount I'm paying, I ought to be getting *30,000 times* more storage space.
(It's not quite as bad as it sounds; you can't get hosting for much less than I'm paying, and the capacity hasn't been an issue so far. But still. That's absurd.)
