Please quote me accurately Jerry, - I said "bulk data" not "data".

In two of my previous jobs, we had a shared db host for lots of people. The 
DB host had one DB instance per user, but the host itself was shared amongst 
500 people in one case (students) and in another case, 100 people (general 
ad hoc research).

The host was well managed (automated backups etc) but it was specifically 
*not* its purpose to store more than a few hundred MB per user as the total 
capacity of the machine was not capable.

I could see this being an issue with some genral purpose hosting solutions.

Conversely it's pretty standard where I work.

True - which is why the OP should consider both sides. But the debate is 
useful.
