This is a bit dated, but here's a horror story about how 1 and 1
decided that a customer was using "too much server resources" and took
his website hostage:

Ouch.
That's another reason why I recommend doing backups yourself. It
avoids situations like this--where the webhost has all copies of the
data.
I also consider any webhhost who says you're using "too much
resources" and fails to provide actual details (numbers, RRDTool
graphs, etc.) as a big Red Flag and worth avoiding. (Dreamhost pulled
that same stunt with me, which is why I'm no longer there, either)
