[AccessD] Arvixe web hosting - was Free Cloud based MySQL

Have not run into a limit. The web sites and databases we run on Arvixe
aren't large but they do advertise no limit on the number of databases. So
far I have only created 3 sql server db on one hosting account. No problems.

They show "unlimited" for SQL Server databases but what is the real deal?  I
can't find a cost / mb stored anywhere.
