A friend of mine has a small and simple website (static pages only)
using AOL as the host. He also has an email address with them.
Whenever he needs to update any of his webpages, he uses FrontPage and
then apparently goes through some sort of AOL application that posts
the new webpage onto the server.
Recently he had his computer scanned to get rid of viruses/spyware and
discovered afterwards that the AOL mechanism (that posts his webpages
to the server) no longer works. I suspect that the AOL software had
some sort of spyware wired into it, and the AdAware and/or Spybot S&D
must have deleted that spyware. Has anyone found this to be true?
To make a long story short, I was about to recommend that he take his
website off AOL and find some other webhost elsewhere (especially
since he gets DSL through his phone company and therefore doesn't need
AOL for connectivity). I don't know how much he pays AOL, but I doubt
that it's less than what other competitors would charge for a simple
website. Any recommendations for simple webhosts?
Are there websites that compare features and prices for webhosts?
