The RaQs are marketed towards people who want to be able to easily and
quickly setup and then administer up to 200 sites (or whatever the latest
number is).  At 200 sites that only works out to be 8 MB per day - which
isn't that much.  True, there probably aren't many individual sites being
hosted on RaQs that consume 50 GB of bandwidth per month, but I've seen
quite a few individual sites hosted on RaQs that consumed over 10 GB / mo.,
with dozens of other sites consuming even more on the same box.
