Note that Wikipedia isn't error-prone.

They also have a list of free webhosting companies. There's several providers in there who, according to the list, allow back-ups of the websites they host: Weebly, Wix.com, Webs.com, ... Last time I checked, only Weebly actually allowed backups of sites to be downloaded.

Other than error-prone, such comparison tables on Wikipedia tend to be rather incomplete.

See the bottom of the said page. The author(s) may or may not be members here.

Well, someone did post a link to the wikipedia comparison table of email services as if it was a great resource. And don't get me wrong, it's very useful. But whenever someone posts a wikipedia link, a nuance about potential errors should be made.

Even if some of the dodgy wikipedia pages are fun to read. I still recall the (probably deleted) page with an article about the Antarctica national soccer team

Who are you talking about here? Do not put words in my mouth that I have not said.

Not talking to anyone specifically ; just saying that the wikipedia links always have to be looked at with a critical eye.
Not directed towards anyone in particular ; I can recall having posted links to a Wikipedia page myself. Most Wiki pages are useful, especially if one verifies the retrieved info elsewhere, but the majority of info on Wikipedia tends to be very useful. Not perfect, but very useful nonetheless.
