    5 Stars A fantasic free web host 04/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its free and they have great help

    Disadvantages 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 website making prgram like arachnophilia (which I use) make your site offline and upload it. If you are new to the web page building business but ... more

    3 Stars Well, it's free... 01/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, free of charge

    Disadvantages 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, in effect, no more, having been swallowed up by one of its rivals, and presumably greatly improved. Before I launch into the body of this opinion, I ... more

    5 Stars Yahoo Geocities 19/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free Service, Just brilliant

    Disadvantages 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 in is a screen with all the features. There are 5 ways of ceating a webpage with Yahoo: 1) Yahoo PageWizards. This is the simplist way of creating a ... more

    5 Stars Reliable, fast, quality hosting 11/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Always running, FTP AND web-based access

    Disadvantages 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% of the time – in fact I have never known any of my sites on it not to be working. The web site address you are given on Geocities consists of ... more

    4 Stars It's Hard to be a Saint When You're in the City 21/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free, Feature-Rich, Intuitive

    Disadvantages 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 and so I just clicked through the hotlink, filled out the form and voila, I had a username and password granting me access to my very own website. They ... more

    4 Stars Yahoo Geocities is Simply the Best 16/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages free service, requires no html skill, pro looking pages

    Disadvantages 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 worked right for me. Finally when I was searching the net with Yahoo! I discovered that they had free internet hosting, called Geocitites. If you ... more

    4 Stars Heaven for Newbies 23/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great for Newbies

    Disadvantages 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 get free web-mail too! Which maybe in future could be expanded to POP3). ... more

    5 Stars best free option 23/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages free, well known

    Disadvantages 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 load up relatively quickly and very reliable. When you load up your webpage an advert comes up as well. It looks very annoying because it is on the ... more

    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.
