Answer 2

Here's an answer I rovided to someone else asking the same question, hope it helps...

There's several places you can get a free website including from Yahoo (their service is called Geocities).

If you're serious about creating a website and want one that looks professional then I wouldn't consider a free site, there are many paid for sites that need only cost you a few dollars a month.

Here's some of the things to consider about free sites...

-- 1 --
You're often restricted in the type of files you can have, some sites don't allow MP3's or video files for example.

-- 2 --
There's usually a bandwidth limit (this is the amount of data that's downloaded). It normally doesn't take long to reach the bandwidth limit and when this happens the site becomes unavailable - you've probably come across such sites yourself. The bandwidth limit is often hourly and also monthly. If you hit your hourly limit your site will be down for about an hour but if you hit your monthly limit if could be down for days or even weeks.

-- 3 --
Most free sites have a limit to the amount of space you have to store your site. Large files such as music and video will very quickly fill the space. Simple text pages don't use much space but when you start adding a few graphics this can soon add up.

-- 4 --
There's rarely any technical support with free sites other than user forums. If something goes wrong it's up to you to sort it out.

-- 5 --
Some copmpanies that provide free sites are 'here today and gone tomorrow' - just what you need if you've spent ages designing a nice site. Others are initially free but then state you have to pay or your site will be deleted. To avoid this stick with the well known and established names such as Tripod/Lycos and Yahoo/Geocities.

-- 6 --
Free sites are often limited in what you can do, a lot won't support PSP or MySql, some don't even support Java. Could mean that features such as forums, blogs, guestbooks etc aren't possible on your site.

-- 7 --
A free site has to pay for itself somehow, no company is going to give away webspace without getting something in return. One common practice is to place adverts on your site. Sometimes these ads are themed and related to your site but other times they're completely unrelated.

-- 8 --
Often the site isn't transferable except to a paid for service provided by the same company. This can be a serious problem if your site becomes popular and you need to move it somewhere that can accomodate your growing needs.

-- 9 --
Often any extras are hugely expensive, if for example you want to buy more data transfer (bandwidth) you could easily be paying $1 per GB. It might not sound a lot but if you're also paying for more web storage space and access to certain tools it will work out far more expensive than having a paid-for site.

-- 10 --
You won't get your own domain name so instead of having xyzcompany.com you'll have something like freewebhostingcompany/xyzcompany.com.

-- FREE SITES --
If you still want a free website then this page here... http://www.free-webhosts.com/search-webhosts.php is an excellent resource as it compares no less than 545 different free webhosts complete with reviews and user comments for each one.

Here's some links to the 4 most popular free webhosts...

Lycos Tripod (CNet rating 9 out of 10)
http://www.tripod.lycos.com/

Lycos Angelfire (CNet rating 6 out of 10)
http://angelfire.lycos.com/

Yahoo Geocities (CNet rating 8 out of 10)
http://geocities.yahoo.com/home/

Express Page (CNet rating 4 out of 10)
http://www.expage.com/

-- PERSONAL RECOMENDATION --
If you want a decent site with a wide range of tools and virtually no restirictions then go for a paid one. They're not expensive and you'll have infinitely more flexibility to design and expand your site.

1 and 1 is the world's number one webhosting company where you can get a site for as little as £1.99 a month (they're UK based so it's about $3.50 a month)
http://order.1and1.co.uk/

Yahoo is the largest US and Canadian webhost and their starter package is $8.96 a month.
http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/?p=PASSPORT&AID=10294260&PID=1453263

Personally I'd go with Yahoo - I have lots of sites with them and have never had any major problems.

Hope this helps and good luck in designing your site.

Answer 3

If you are a true novice and don't want to spend much time learning how to make a site, I would suggest the current super-popular MySpace. You can quickly get your information up for all your friends to see.

If you are interested in something more, but still fairly simple try GeoCities or Yahoo.

If you are willing to learn HTML I would suggest ATSPACE.COM. You can create a website for FREE up to 50MBs in size. I have two websites through them and the uptime is great. NO ADS, NO BANNERS. You'll need an ftp program to upload your stuff. There's a good free one for personal use called "FTP Explorer". Of course you'll either need to learn HTML or use one of the WYSIWYG programs like FrontPage or DreamWeaver to actually design your site. e-mail me if you need some help...

If you want your own domain and have it hosted, I suggest ReadyHosting. You get 1GB of space unlimted e-mail accounts, FTP access and domain name registration all for $99 a year.

Web hosting site (FREE):
http://www.atspace.com
Web hosting site (COST):

FTP Explorer site:

A couple of my websites:

Family Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)
