When I'm not writing fiction, I spend a lot of time working for Online Institute, a provider of FTP Hosting services which allow users to upload and download files to private folders. Online Institute lets you setup private folders for each user to access their own private FTP Folder. You can also make your FTP files web accessible, so essentially use it as a website.
I also prefer FTP to Custom Domains, as covered in this blog I ran across recently:
