I’m looking for a simple HTML web host that is suitable for non-technical users. Here are my absolute requirements:
Must support custom domains (no www.host.com/~username)
Must have a built-in editor that is sufficiently WYSIWYG for someone with zero HTML skills to use. (Google Sites would meet this requirement, for example.)
Must allow me to import an existing site of static HTML pages with all links intact. (Google sites fails this requirement.)
Must not add any sort of header, footer, JavaScript, sidebar, or other junk to the pages. (Google sites also fails this requirement.)
No lockin. All pages must be served in and easily exportable as plain vanilla HTML.
I don’t need databases, JavaScript, or a lot of other advanced features. #1 is commonly met, but everything I’ve looked at so far fails either #2, #3, or #4.
