Do you mean, are questions answered quickly? It depends; I've had a few 
get same-day answers, a few get ignored. Just ask and find out.

Absolutely. No ifs, no ands, no buts - just yes.

A container (also called VE or VPS) doesn't have a fixed disk file, it 
has a quota and it uses the underlying host's filesystem. The quota and 
usage can be seen from inside the VE using "df" same as usual.

The great part, is that the quota can be changed at any time without 
rebooting or reconfiguring anything. Adding "disk space" to a VE means 
typing one command, without worrying about adding disks, formatting 
disks, etc. It's very nice, when someone needs temporary space.

I hope that helps explain a little bit.
