i know such companies from various webhosting attempts, and in my experience 
really cheap offers mean that the company is 'overselling' their capacity. they 
assume that hardly anybody actually will use the whole bandwidth or space and hope 
that things will go ok. needless to say, they usually don't. there is no such 
thing as "unlimited bandwidth" or "~ disk space" -- even up in the cloud they'll 
have to pay for what they use.

i chose to go with somewhat costlier offers, even for simple webhosting needs, 
because those are much more reliable. if you want to host the whole packman repos, 
i don't think any cheap provider will suffice.
