 Each of the providers above has a slightly different approach to hosting data for
 compatibility with the UCSC Genome Browser, and may have different advantages and disadvantages,
 such as size limitations, usage statistics, and version control integration. Additionally, as 
 previously mentioned, any provider that supports byte-range access will work for hub hosting, 
 and you are not limited to the above sites. Below is a summarized guide for
 each of the providers mentioned above.</p>
 
 <h3>Hosting Hubs on CyVerse</h3>
 <p>
 <a href="http://www.cyverse.org/" target="_blank">CyVerse</a>, previously known as the iPlant Collaborative, is 
-an NSF funded site created for assisting data scientists with their data storage and compute 
-needs. CyVerse supports free data hosting and byte-range access to hosted data, making them 
-perfect for hosting the binary data required for track hubs.</p>
+an NSF-funded site created for assisting data scientists with their data storage and compute 
+needs. Data hosting by CyVerse is free for academic groups and they support byte-range access, 
+so they can be used for track hubs. However, Cyverse is sometimes slow, 
+and may result in error messages if your hub includes many tracks that are 
+meant to be shown at the same time by your users.</p>
 
 <p>In order to host your data on CyVerse, you first must create an account and then use their
 <a href="https://de.cyverse.org/de" target="_blank">Discovery Environment</a> to upload data. After creating an 
 account, use the &quot;Upload&quot; and &quot;Simple Upload&quot; buttons to upload files 
 individually as shown below:

 You can also use the command line utility
 <a href="https://pods.iplantcollaborative.org/wiki/display/DS/Setting+Up+iCommands" target="_blank">iCommands</a> 
 to facilitate bulk transfer of data (best used for large files in the 2-100 GB range), or use 
 <a href="https://pods.iplantcollaborative.org/wiki/display/DS/Using+Cyberduck+for+Uploading+and+Downloading+to+the+Data+Store" target="_blank">
 Cyberduck</a> to bulk transfer up to 80 GB of data in one go.</p>
