Read their TOS - then compare to Wordpress.com or Weebly.com - the verbage unmistakeably allows them to supplement rental income by sub-licensing your material -- forever -- EVEN AFTER YOU MOVE ON. If you don't want to give them that right - you have to look elsewhere. Be sure and tell them why you didn't go with them. Geepers-Creeps.
