Where do you put all your HTML stuff on a home Linux server?

I don't keep a separate /var - I do keep a separate /srv
I can do a clean install but preserve /home and /srv and I don't lose 
anything.

I do not like to have /var as a partition that is preserved because too 
many files in /var are OS dependent. So I like /var to be nuked on a 
clean install along with /usr

This also allows me to have a relatively small root filesystem -  and 
not have to worry about expanding it because I filled up /var/html. I 
may have to expand /srv as it fills with data from various servers - but 
it is much easier and safer to expand /srv than to expand / - and a full 
/srv won't prevent an update package from installing or otherwise 
interfere with system operations.
