20 years ago, it was extremely common for your ISP to give you 5MB or whatever of space to use. users.ispname.com/~yourname or whatever. It was great, tbh, since anyone with cuteftp and notepad could publish to the world.

Still common now, at least in Australia. My ISP gives me 1GB if hosting for a website and 10 mailboxes.
