I’m looking for a simple HTML web host that is suitable for non-technical users. Here are my absolute requirements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Must support custom domains (no www.host.com\/~username)<\/li>\n
  2. 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.)<\/li>\n
  3. Must allow me to import an existing site of static HTML pages with all links intact. (Google sites fails this requirement.)<\/li>\n
  4. Must not add any sort of header, footer, JavaScript, sidebar, or other junk to the pages. (Google sites also fails this requirement.)<\/li>\n
  5. No lockin. All pages must be served in and easily exportable as plain vanilla HTML.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    Is there such a product on the market?
    \n<\/p>\n

    Update: It occurs to me I could live with a local system that runs on a Mac and has a one-click publish button to upload to a plain-vanilla Unix\/Apache server. It’s not as nice as one that allows editing right in the browser, but it would suffice for now. Other requirements still apply. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
