Between AOL and MSN, I would have to go with America
Online. I have had AOL for about a year and half or so, and I have had no
problems with it. I would also go with the unlimited plan because I
use the internet a lot.
I used to have AT&T and I am sorry that we ever got that. It used to
take us about 2 hours to sign on, it was very bad. 2 Free ISPs

I would pick NetZero as my free ISP. They have a
lot of phone numbers to pick from, and they only have a questionnaire
semi-annually, so it would not be very annoying. More

I would have to go with the Geocities free web hosting, because
that is what I am using, and I have found it to be very good with minimal
problems.
Professional Web Hosting
I would go with the Hostway professional web hosting,
because it has a lot of features, for a small price.
