• Tripod
The second largest free Web page service (after Yahoo! GeoCities), Tripod gives its
members a choice between pop-up ads and embedded ads. You get 20 megabytes of
space for your site at this service, which now has over 4 million members and which is
owned by search portal Lycos. Here, 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.
o Tripod offers support for Microsoft FrontPage extensions, which means that if
you own this commercial Web authoring package, you have more flexibility in
what you can do with your site, (such as the ability to easily add text searches).
However, we've had a number of complaints that Tripod's FrontPage server is
slow and buggy.

• Yahoo! GeoCities
A part of search portal Yahoo's empire, GeoCities is the Web's largest free space
provider, with over 5 million "Homesteaders." An ad-supported service, GeoCities offers
you 15 megabytes of space and 3 gigabytes of data transfer (bandwidth) per month. You
start out by staking your claim in a GeoCities "neighborhood" that offers pages with
similar themes to yours. You submit an application and are given a password for use in
creating your Web site. You may then use the "Yahoo! PageBuilder" utility here to create
your home page.
o Like many Web hosters, Yahoo! GeoCities is heavily promoting its premium
commercial services these days. However, free hosting is still available here (just
look for the "get started with a free GeoCities home page" text link).
o GeoCities has eliminated the problem of its once-cumbersome, lengthy URLs via
an improved naming scheme, which means that you can have a shorter URL,
such as http://www.geocities.com/zeeprojector.
o Some of our visitors report periodic access woes here. A number of complaints
have also been posted on Yahoo! GeoCities' message boards lately about
vanishing pages. We've also had complaints that support is difficult to obtain.
However, other visitors report that assistance is readily available through the
service's "Community Leaders," who may be reached via E-mail or ICQ.
