I have been with ASO for four years and have been quite pleased with them 
over all. Not perfect by any means but honest and reliable. They do not 
over sell space or bandwith so *almost* every thing else is truly 
unlimited.

I never even come close to my monthly limits and could probably squeak by 
with a tiny plan insted of the small I have. One hidden limit that you 
would probably never hit hosting a few email addresses for your self and 
family is the 1,000 per hour hard limit on sending email. 

This can bite lists, even small ones, pretty quick. A 100 member list with 
10 posts in one hour will hit the limit and lock. I helped a ~150 member 
discusion list move from LSoft to Mailman last year. We ended up 
splitting the list into two nested lists on separate accounts to get 
around this limit.
