Advantages: Lots of extras
Disadvantages: Very hard to use extras

Tripod used to be one of the leaders along with geocities in free webpages and e-mail accounts to go along with them, however, through a series of stupid mergers the company is trying to be too much like it's counterpart, Lycos, which is defective in itself. I have nothing personally against Tripod really, I have no vendettas or axes to grind, I just know a lot about them through a lot of web experience using their free webpages and web management ...

Advantages: FREE and easy to use with expansive space on offer
Disadvantages: The "Unbearable Pop-ups"

Tripod is the easiest web hosting site to use, the largest and one of the fastest (Considering these services are classsed as "read slow"). But its pop-up windows containing advertisements are making me look for another web hosting company. I signed up to the site about one month ago, and as a first time user, I found Tripod an excellent site due to its partner FTP software called Trelix Web. I actually found that you could host a site on Tripod ...
...my new computer that had Trelix Web pre installed. As I was playing around with making a web site, I decided to look at what publishing deals were on offer through Trelix Web. I found Tripod and chose it simply becuase it gave me a fairly expansive size (50mb) and with the ability to upgrade this size to 100MB if necessary. SO I signed up and found it so easy to upload my website, I knew that Tripod was the web host for me. That was until I asked ... Read review

Advantages: Free web hosting, free scripts and site building tools
Disadvantages: The ads plaster your web page, they're everywhere!

Tripod was once a independent web hosting site but was recently taken over by Lycos. When I first started out designing web pages and needed web space, tripod was one of the sites I used for web space. Free web space is always good. It is a great way to get your web site online with the minimal amount of knowledge of what it takes to create, upload and maintain a web site. The design and navigation of this web site is great and everything is easy ...
...tools and scripts available from complete designed web pages where you only have to add your text and images. Scripts available include hit counters and guestbook, every site needs a hit counter! The sign up process is quick and you can even have your own web site online within minutes. You can upload your web site through your own webmaster control panel or you can use your own FTP program to get your files on to the server. You can always use ... Read review

Advantages: free
Disadvantages: bit slow at times

I was lloking for a way of setting up my own web page and Tripod seemed a cheap (Free in fact) way of doing this. I have checked out a number of different options but none are that impressive. Tripod offer free web space and a number of tools to help you build your web site. You can access the site by ftp and upload or download files to your site. It has been a bit slow lately but they apparently moved to new servers last night so hopefully it ... Read review

Advantages: Free, very easy to use, "pods" of like minded sites to generate publicity
Disadvantages: pop-up window

Having used Tripod.com for my first website because of the large amount of webspace available and the ease with which their software enabled me to create pages, I leapt at the chance to have a UK site when the UK branch opened. You get 100mb to use on your site and I defy anyone to use that much without resorting to major downloads or video clips. If you're looking to earn money from your site or simply generate publicity then Tripod offer "Pods" ...
...Each month a site within the Pod is made "Best of Pod" and featured on Tripod for all to see. Unusually for a free site, the tripod sites do seem to get listed very asily on search engines. I've always been told that your own domain name will be listed higher than a free site, but in the case of Tripod this doesn't seem to be the case. My Tripod sites have consistently performed better than my domain name sites despite identical content. My only ... Read review
