Just to comment on the limits that your host is keeping you to. Several web hosts will do that as part of their target performance goals. AllSimBaseball's service is not immune to the issues caused by the sheer number of individual files that OOTP generates. In recent months, there have been some severe slowdowns that were related to the file counts and we noticed that this mostly occurred when cpu was overloaded during file optimization(defragmenting), weekly backups, etc.
Since this was the case, instead of placing file limits on clients, as other webhosts may be doing, the solution has been to try to place reports only on a separate server and leave the sites and forums alone on another. This frees up cpu to run sql database functions and php scripts, that run the websites and forums, while leaving the html reports alone on another server which doesn't really require backing up(as often) since most everything is replaceable quite easily.
Bottom line? If you can, pack as much as you can in archives and share them with your league members. You'll find that you can get away with less on your website that way. If you need everything dispayed, and you know you are heading toward a million files, you may want to look into a dedicated server or at least virtual dedicated hosting.
Many webhosts will advertise "Unlimited" everything, but they are banking on the fact that 90% of their clients never use very much space, or go beyond their TPG in terms of number of individual files. Be aware of this because OOTP leagues will often take you into the other 10%.
