Some people are just renting a server by a ISP. Renting a server with a
20 or 40GB HD is indeed cheap, asking for the same machine with a 250GB
makes renting double or triple. Why, I don't know. The hardware isn't
that expencive. I think ISP"s are counting that you are planning to put
a few 1000 sites on that machine.
And about the attachment: Just make a few 100MB or GB file with only the
letter a in it and let some zip program use the max compression. Indeed
you receive a very small attachment. We played with that in pre-internet
times (Fidonet) to test mailsoftware.
