All good advice, but I think if I had a choice between AOL for free and
something else for $5/month, I'd take "free" and just back up my website
files on my own machine for the times they disappeared.  Actually, that's
a good idea no matter what site you're using -- you can't always count on
them to keep good backups, and besides, *their* backups won't help you
when you're updating the site after you've had a few beers and hit
"delete" by accident. ;)
