That's a good point. It's really going to be a game of averages. Most small websites that I build (for restaurants, bands, conversion pages, etc) get a negligible amount of traffic. But every now and then there will be a site that sees 100x that traffic.

Storage is easy to set limits on in advance, but you're going to want some sensible limits on bandwidth usage too. With some care, you could do so via throttling (fixed average bandwidth with bursting) so that you never need to cut a site off entirely.
