Yep. It wasn't cheap or easy back when they had the monopoly.

That's back when ISP's offered personal webpage hosting as part of your service. I setup my first webpage on my dialup ISP's server. Family photos and such before the social media things got going.

I for many years after that for large file transfers. Just set up a landing index page and a folder for the file in FTP to activate it. Then share the http address to file.
