A fantasic free web host

Advantages: Its free and they have great help
Disadvantages: Not a brillaint advanced html editor but its ok

Geocities is one of the biggest webhosting sites on the internet and Really couldn't be any easier to use. All you have to do is either already be a member of yahoo with your own screen name or sign up if your not. The only thing you need is an idea for a website and the will to update it regulary or stick with it untill its finished. My advice to start off with is if you are amazing at making web pages with using only HTML codes then get a decent ...
...site offline and upload it. If you are new to the web page building business but are desperate to make a site then geocities.com really is the site you need. They offer a lot of stuff to help your webpage look good. Fist of all you can choose one of their own backrounds and layouts to use, you can then either upload pictures from your computer or you can choose some of the pictures Geocities.com have to offer. All you need ot do then is add some ...

Well, it's free...

Advantages: Easy to use, free of charge
Disadvantages: An irritating bug (see op for details)

Geocities are the people I use to host my website – neither my site nor their service is particularly glamorous, they do ‘exactly what it says on the tin’ and leave the bells and whistles for other people. I’ve only ever used one other server, Acmecity, so I can’t really compare Geocities to the range of alternatives and let’s just say I got fed up with Acmecity and leave it at that, shall we? OK, let’s not, let’s gleefully add that Acmecity is, ...
...of its rivals, and presumably greatly improved. Before I launch into the body of this opinion, I apologise for any jargon that I use, particularly if I get it slightly wrong. I’m not much of a techie, and I’m assuming that people reading this aren’t either, but if you’re reading an op on Geocities then you probably know what Java, HTML and what have you are already. Probably the biggest whinge anyone has with Geocities is the advertising placed ...

Yahoo Geocities

Advantages: Free Service, Just brilliant
Disadvantages: Ugly Web Address

When I first wanted to build a webpage I really didn't want to buy a domain as their mega-bucks! I started looking around places such as, Homestead, and Tripod. But none of them suited me! Homestead was to easy and was for a first time creater and and just didn't fancy Tripod. So I went to yahoo and searched, 'Free Webpage' and it came up with Yahoo Gocities. I signed up and was given a free webpage. The first thing that come up when your logged ...
...are 5 ways of ceating a webpage with Yahoo: 1) Yahoo PageWizards. This is the simplist way of creating a webpage. You just answer a few question, choose your style and add the text, and there you go! This is for the firs timers! EASY! 2) Yahoo PageBuilder. This is the middle way. This Page builder is a drop & Drag builder. Where you choose the function and place it on the page. This is relativly easy but you have to think. This option give you ...

Reliable, fast, quality hosting

Advantages: Always running, FTP AND web-based access
Disadvantages: Limited amount of web space, no CGI

Yahoo® Geocities® is a good all round web hosting service. It has been my preferred hosting service for some time now. Load speeds are consistently good, and Geocities give each member a reasonable amount of space to put a web site on – of course if you desperately need more space there is no reason not to sign up an additional account and place files in that space. Being backed by a major Internet company, Geocities is up just about 100% ...
...any of my sites on it not to be working. The web site address you are given on Geocities consists of simply http://www.geocities.com/username. I find it best to use an URL redirection service to get a better address (e.g. a free sub domain redirection service like www.wxs.org). There is a smaller-than-usual advert placed on each page of your site, using JavaScript®, so that the end user can close it if they wish. This has the advantage of enabling ...

It's Hard to be a Saint When You're in the City

Advantages: Free, Feature-Rich, Intuitive
Disadvantages: Sometimes Unresponsive, Tools have niggly problems

Geocities lets you put together a website without spending any cash. I wanted to put together my own website for a number of reasons: so my friends could see some of my photos, to enhance my employability by attaining new skills and not least just for the experience of it. Not having a PC at home, I needed a cost-free connection that was simple to pick up and use. Geocities fitted the bill nicely. FREE SPACE I already had a Yahoo! mail account ...
...the form and voila, I had a username and password granting me access to my very own website. They allocated me 15M bytes of space and access to more tools than I could shake a (virtual) stick at, or at least more tools than I could be bothered to learn how to use. BIG TOOLS Aside from the efficient file management system there are several options for adding content, including an interface to Front Page (should you wish to use it!), a raw html editor ...

Yahoo Geocities is Simply the Best

Advantages: free service, requires no html skill, pro looking pages
Disadvantages: banners, loading time

When I wanted to start creating a website, I knew right from the start that I didn't want to pay for a domain name. I was looking for the best free webpage hosting that didn't require much web design skills, but still made you have a professional style page. I tried the AOL website creator but it allowed you to just place your personal information, and it was on 3rd grade level. I tried other confusing hosts like Tripod and Xoom, and none of them ...
...net with Yahoo! I discovered that they had free internet hosting, called Geocitites. If you already have a Yahoo! email address like I did then you are all set for Geocities. Right from the start you know that Geocities will be fun, you move into an area (Broadway for instance if you are making it about plays), and give a brief description of what your page is going to be about. Next you go to the page builder, which takes about 3 minutes to load. ...

Heaven for Newbies

Advantages: Great for Newbies
Disadvantages: Bad for experienced

Geocities has always been one of the biggest hosting places on the web. This is because it makes hosting simple for any internet newbie. Its web building tools make building a web-site a breeze to anyone. However the only down side to this is your actual adress is very long. As a result its not exactly very good for setting up a business page, however, its great for personal stuff. Geocities is a great place for you to host up your site (you even ...

best free option

Advantages: free, well known
Disadvantages: the advert

Geocities is the best free web host. It is very easy to create a website with their online builder. It can be knocked up in a couple of minutes but if you want to make your website looking more professional it is better to design it yourself. Most people who has been using the internet for a while have heard of geocities so when you give your web address to someone they are more likely to remember it. Compared with other free web hosts geocities ...

Geocities.com - Scam or saviour

Advantages: - See op
Disadvantages: - See op

Geocities.com, a well known provider for free webspace is a subsection of Yahoo.com, an origionally small start engine that begun with two japanese students. From here, Geocities and Yahoo both have grown into thriving buisnesses, one of which was dedicated to providing free webspace for people to use so that they might publish their own websites, whether for pictures, art, poems or almost anything you can think of, they'll host you.

Build That Site

Advantages: Free space, good tips.
Disadvantages: None

Have you ever thought about setting up your own web site? A site dedicated to your works of art, perhaps, or photos of your baby as she grows; essays on love or pictures of Kate Bush? And have you been deterred because of the following reasons: It will cost me money It will be just too hard I don’t have the time Well, Geocities can help with two of those problems. They not only offer free web space, but they also offer a page builder program ...
...a click of a button here and there. They cannot conjure up time, though, and effort. That’s down to you. You can up load your own files, too, of your wonderful offspring or your family pets; of your paintings of birds or stories about fish. And you can chose from an array of page backgrounds, lettering, pictures that Geocities have to offer and various effects all for free. They can place a free guest book on your site and a counter, amongst ...

geocities for begginers or pros

Advantages: no html skills needed quick and easy
Disadvantages: you dont get to name your site

There are alot of web hosters out there nowadays,the beauty of geocities is that you dont need to be an expert in the field of html scripting?In fact geocities is alot like using microsoft publisher its just a case of making text boxes and writing in them.That is if you are mjust beggining but geocities caters for all different needs you can just make a quick page in 10 mins or you could go the whole hog and make a really profesional looking webpage. ...
...geocities to help make your kind of webpage possible,that is the beauty wether it be simple or complicated geocities will cater for your needs. But with all good things there comes a bad thing,this isnt so much a bad thing more of a hinderance the fact that you wont be able to use that clever name you had thought of for your website,the name you will have will look more like,www.geocities.com/yourname but if you can put up with that then there will ...

The Truth about Yahoo Geocities

Advantages: Free. Good. Tracking abilities. Easy add ons.
Disadvantages: I can easily fill 15Megs.

In this review I am going to try and correct a nasty rumour about Yahoo! Geocities. I like Geocities. Geocities is now part of the Yahoo! Empire and in many ways this is a good thing. It means, for example, that you can plug into all their services… and more importantly, Geocities makes it easy to do this. They will, for example, give you cut’n’paste code that will put a smilie face graphic on your page that lights up to tell visitors that you are ...
...so far as build every scrap of code behind a rather fancy page for you. On the other hand, if you can code and you don’t trust a computer to produce the page (I don’t) then you can access manual edit pages yourself. Adverts: This is a free service so they do have to get something out of it themselves. Now, unlike some sites which slap a banner across the top of your page and that totally destroy the flavour you worked hard to put across and take ...

Want a website NO PROBLEM

Advantages: Easy 2 use
Disadvantages: Not great for experts - I'm guessing

I only dicovered geocities today, and what a revelation it proved to be. Before I found this I thought making a website would be a complicated process involving a lot of time and prior knowledge to set up. Only 10 minutes later I had a funky looking website, and after a couple of hours of fine tuning and adding features i now have a fantastic looking website with a counter, tic tac toe game, guestbook and even a bouncing santa!! If you have ever ...

Geocities- The best host.

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

I hope you find this review and the opinions in it useful. Geocities is by far my favourite free website host. It is extremely easy to use and has many helpful tools. Geocities is not for beginners and not for experts it is for both. For the beginners there are two easy to use pagebuilders. One drag and drop builder and the other you just answer some questions and your website is made. But if you know html but not a lot you can also add some html ...
...full html editor, but also you can upload files using ftp which is very good, if you edit your website offline. You can also get counters and other cool add-ons for your site. The only downfall of the site is the fact that there is an ad banner located in the right hand corner of the site although visitor to your site can close it may make your site look less professional, but most html experts use a code which banishes the ad from your site. ...
