-<h2>Backups</h2>
+<?/*
+<h3>Backups</h3>
<p>
<strong>We strongly recommend you keep your own backups of your SQL schema and data.</strong> Your MySQL data is not stored in AFS.
Although we use various technical means to try to ensure the availability of your data (including hardware-level redundancy and real-time replication), we can make no guarantees about the reliability of the service and access to your data.
</p>
-<?/*
-<h2>Quotas</h2>
+<h3>Quotas</h3>
<p>
By default, new users can create up to <strong>5 databases</strong>, consuming a total of <strong>50 megabytes</strong> of SQL data.
<strong>Always use this interface to create and drop databases.</strong>
Although you can drop any of your databases outside this interface, doing so will not relinquish your rights to that database and will therefore still count against your quota.

Although this service has been designed with reliability in mind, the SIPB MySQL service should not be used to host critical applications that cannot tolerate downtime.
