I used to sell web hosting... the amount of space started at 250k or if you went with the more expensive package was 500k.

I used to run an ISP. Our server park was two machines each with 128MB RAM and 120MHz classic Pentiums and 4GB of harddrive space. One of them hosted e-mail and shell access for all our users. The other had web hosting for our business users, our tape drive (we backed up the other machine over the network), and our USENET server...

4gb of HD space?! That's a lot! :)
