Family and Fun

GeoCities - Among the biggest services of its type, GeoCities offers free Web pages and E-mail. You start out by staking your claim in a GeoCities "neighborhood" that offers pages with similar themes to yours. You then submit an application and are given a password for use in creating your own page. You are then able to use GeoCities' file manager utility to create your home page. Or, you may submit your custom home page and GIFs/JPGs graphics files using the "EZ File Upload Utility."

Tripod free Web pages - A major free Web page service, Tripod has unfortunately fallen victim to the trend of the annoying "pop-up" advertising button. You get 5 megabytes of space for your site. You have two options: if you're a beginner, you can use the "Quickpage" option if you want Tripod to write your page's coding. If you know HTML coding, you can do it yourself through the "Custom" option. Tripod offers lots of goodies, including an option to have your own chat room. There's also lots of help here on how to become a successful Web page author.

Angelfire Communications - This major service offers free home pages with a five-megabyte limit on content. However, if you use graphics from their stock collection, they're not counted against your space limit. This service is paid for by sponsored banner ads. You may advertise your business, but you may not have paid advertising banners on your page. Angelfire offers lots of helpful advice for getting you up and running with your own Web site, even if you're new to Web site authoring.

Crosswinds Internet Communications - This site offers free personal Web pages and free E-mail. You may upload your page via FTP or with their upload service that you access through your browser. No porn, "warez" (pirated material) or spamming allowed. No size limits on accounts!

Fortune City.com - Stake your claim at this cool service that uses a neat city theme. Each member of the "community" gets a whopping 10 megs of free space for a Web site. Better hurry, space here is being snapped up quickly. At one time, we were hearing complaints about the time it takes to gain access to update your page. But Fortune City.com has installed new server equipment and access woes no longer appear to be a problem. Note: like many services of this type, you must display their banner on your page.

Free Yellow - This popular free Web page provider offers two megs of space for business or personal use. They feature interactive forms that you may place on your site with a simple cut & paste. There's other goodies, like CGI stuff, nice graphics, counters, sounds and more. No adults sites allowed.

Hypermart - This free service offers you 10 megs of space and "unlimited bandwidth" for your non-porn business related Web site (no personal sites allowed). Hypermart offers you CGI-bin access and supports Microsoft Front Page extensions.

WebSpawner - WebSpawner is an online Web authoring system that lets you design and develop customized Web pages in a matter of minutes - without having to learn HTML. Once you have approved your web page it will be placed on the World Wide Web, at no cost to you.
