Google apps for your domain are neat. They have a free level that lets you do email for your domain (same look/feel/features as gmail) - which I love. Beyond that don't expect much right now, but hey, it's free - what can you expect. You don't get FTP access - which makes it hard do do a real blog/advanced features (that's why this page looks as crappy as it does - just a limited google template). Also the "Page Creator" that they have is a piece of garbage. Anyone remember FrontPage? kinda the same thing, but as an online app. with less features.

*Update - Google apps are neat, but their hosting sucks. I had them as a host for less than 2 weeks and they were down for 2 days. It forced me to go and actually pay for hosting - I'm still bitter.
