Where can you get a free personal web page.?

Question

I want to start a personal web page. How do I do this and is there a good site to teach you how to design your page.

Answer 1

An excellent resource for learning some basics of webdesign is http://www.webmonkey.com

They don't host free webpages, though. Some places that do are:
http://geocities.yahoo.com/
http://www.50megs.com/

Also look at this for more ideas:

squarespace is the cleanest, slickest, most efficient site out there. they have everything for your site; the only thing you have to figure out if you want a regular site or a blog. they assume that you want a blog, unless you're not paying attention and haven't stated otherwise.

everything is done through components and modules in squarespace; it's all visual, and you're not really programming anything. i'm not even sure if you can modify the code on that site. you can use redirects if you don't want that squarespace address. it's free for about 30 days then they start charging; cheapest rate is like $7 a month for 100 mb of storage and 2 gb of bandwidth - far more than what the average person will need. if you don't already know bandwidth is a measure of how many people can access your site at one time, once it's exceeded, people start getting 404 messages and stuff telling them to come back later.

they even let you advertise, which is something they wouldnt' do back when i had an account there. you can get up to 50 editors on your account with the premium service, which is like $17 a month. if you're starting out, the $7 is a good option, but if you're technical and prefer to code your websites and just need the storage I'd go with the $17. a lot of people don't like to pay for websites but with the free sites typically force you to run their ads, and personally, if i'm running someone else's ads i want a piece of the action.

if you want a truly free site though i'd go with geocities; they've been at it since the early days of the internet. yahoo acquired them but they still have a free account. you dont' get much though, only 15 mb of storage and 3 gb bandwidth, if you want your own domain name you have to get the pro package; you know that's like yourname.com, assuming noone else has already taken your name and registered it.

tripod is still offering free accounts as well, they offer more storage on their free accounts. they've been around forever as well.

if you're really looking for some old-school action try angelfire. they're part of lycos, along with tripod, but they're encouraging people to use their free poetry publishing along with their desktop blog editor. that's really about it; you'll find others, but they're really obscure, and i wouldn't recommend them because i haven't used them. honestly, if you have the money to spare i'd just buy a pc and run it as a server and host your own site from home. then you can get a feel for both sides of it, developing the site, and administrating the system!
