Free.fr, one of the biggest ISP in France a while back, and perhaps still today, still runs all the old-school websites it was hosting for people (for free) today. It's quite insane, but a lot of the French web 1.0 is still alive today thanks to them. Truly an ISP ran by passionate technical people.

Good on them. Last year I randomly discovered an ancient email to my old Hotmail address from free website host Tripod, owned at the time by Lycos, that old search engine. As an 11 year old I had a website with them and wanted to dig it out to see what I had put there. I managed to convince them I was the owner and got my access back, only to discover nothing there. I guess at some point in the ~20 years since I made one they nuked their dormant sites.
