That's a function of who hosts your domain and what facilities they 
provide or tolerate, not of simply having your own. Indeed, 
"g4iat.d.c.u" *is* your own domain.

Agreed :(

Their last 'excuse' was that if they allowed some people to have more, 
then they'd have to provide sufficient physical space for everybody for 
some technical reason that I didn't fully understand. I would suspect 
commercial pressures. Mind you, other ISPs offer even less space (eg 
10Mb) on their smallest account.
