this seems like a very good offer to me. so much storage and bandwidth but so cheap. can someone have a look because im sure there has to be a catch somewhere as other sites offer so much less for so much more. i see they dont support rss or at least its not mentioned but i cant see anything else.
thanks to anyone who takes a look.
ps. i dont work for netpivotal and im not advertising their site.
i just want to know for myself

I see your point - very cheap, I'm scared of stuff like that after all you know what they say...if it looks too good to be true it probably is.

Seems fair enough to me. Go for it if that's what you want!

Storage and bandwidth are really very cheap to them as providers.

RSS isn't something they'd list as supporting; it's not a server technology. So yes, they'll support it. And they support the major scripting languages like PHP too, plus mySQL databases.
Just to elaborate on my statement about storage and bandwidth being pretty cheap to them, take a look at Dream Host:
http://dreamhost.com/shared/comparison.html

1TB monthly bandwidth, increasing weekly by 8GB!!!
20GB storage, increasing weekly by 160MB

They can give those huge numbers because for a start they are connected on a major point in the US, but also because they know most of their customers won't use anything like that amount of bandwidth, but many will be attracted by the huge numbers.

I was hosted with these guys for about two years:

Despite being technically insecure (I knew enough to be able to compromise their systems, but they didn't seem too bothered), they do pretty much do everything you'd probably want, and at a good price too. I only changed because my needs changed.
