The easy-to-use tempate structure of these hosts pose some design constraints, however, the flexibility, scalability, and the ease of maintenance far outweigh those constraints, as well as making your site affordable. Only you can decide if this balance is acceptable for you. These companies have, in my experience, proven reliable and easy to contact for support if necessary. *
