I was not attacking the poster, just the thought of everyone being allowed to edit a web site.
Dave,
While this may be as you say, I feel you needed to be exactly this clear with your earlier posts, seeing as you didn't very clearly say that you feel it is an inadvisable practice. What I see instead is a comment about free versus cost and then a following comment citing that you were in fact emitting sarcasm, at which point you and TenTenths conducted a side discussion in the thread.
To reiterate and be very clear I'm referring exactly to those ongoing back and forth comments about sarcasm and jokes and saying that they are not adding to this thread.
The OP felt they got an answer, they can choose to mark the thread as solved, they are a similarly long time member as are many in this thread.
I would say that most web hosting companies don't do much censoring. I host websites (not for free!) and have rules against sites that preach any kind of hate or intolerance. I also choose not to host sexually explicit (pornographic) sites, but that's more out of concern for bandwidth and system loads than for any moral reasons. I also explicitly forbid things that are against the law. If a customer of mine wants to fill his site with four-letter words, or opinions with which I don't agree, he's welcome to do that...as long as he pays his bill!
Find a hosting company and read their Terms of Use/Terms of Service to see if they will "censor" you...if they will allow you to do what you want to do. We (hosting companies) sell disk space, bandwidth and customer support. Most of us are not interested in policing content.

Rep:
On this kind of thing always confuses me.
I may wish to host a website using open source tools but I would not, ever, expect somebody to host it for me without recompense.
I know that is not what is being asked, and it's why I'm wanting to see suggestions, but I do not understand the "what can I get for nothing?" Philosophy.
