Where can you get a free personal web page.?

I want to start a personal web page. How do I do this and is there a good site to teach you how to design your page.



Where can you get a free personal web page.?





An excellent resource for learning some basics of webdesign is http://www.webmonkey.com



They don%26#039;t host free webpages, though. Some places that do are:



http://geocities.yahoo.com/



http://www.50megs.com/



Also look at this for more ideas:

Where can you get a free personal web page.?



geocity by yahoo.



Other Replys:google, myspace, youtube, netflix, or any other site like that.



Other Replys:doteasy, comes to mine, or angel fire.. a search for free web page will bring you your choice.



Other Replys:try http://www.50megs.com, they give you the layout and it%26#039;s very easy to set up...and you get a lot of nice design options...



god bless!



Other Replys:squarespace is the cleanest, slickest, most efficient site out there. they have everything for your site; the only thing you have to figure out if you want a regular site or a blog. they assume that you want a blog, unless you%26#039;re not paying attention and haven%26#039;t stated otherwise.



everything is done through components and modules in squarespace; it%26#039;s all visual, and you%26#039;re not really programming anything. i%26#039;m not even sure if you can modify the code on that site. you can use redirects if you don%26#039;t want that squarespace address. it%26#039;s free for about 30 days then they start charging; cheapest rate is like $7 a month for 100 mb of storage and 2 gb of bandwidth - far more than what the average person will need. if you don%26#039;t already know bandwidth is a measure of how many people can access your site at one time, once it%26#039;s exceeded, people start getting 404 messages and stuff telling them to come back later.



they even let you advertise, which is something they wouldnt%26#039; do back when i had an account there. you can get up to 50 editors on your account with the premium service, which is like $17 a month. if you%26#039;re starting out, the $7 is a good option, but if you%26#039;re technical and prefer to code your websites and just need the storage I%26#039;d go with the $17. a lot of people don%26#039;t like to pay for websites but with the free sites typically force you to run their ads, and personally, if i%26#039;m running someone else%26#039;s ads i want a piece of the action.



if you want a truly free site though i%26#039;d go with geocities; they%26#039;ve been at it since the early days of the internet. yahoo acquired them but they still have a free account. you dont%26#039; get much though, only 15 mb of storage and 3 gb bandwidth, if you want your own domain name you have to get the pro package; you know that%26#039;s like yourname.com, assuming noone else has already taken your name and registered it.



tripod is still offering free accounts as well, they offer more storage on their free accounts. they%26#039;ve been around forever as well.



if you%26#039;re really looking for some old-school action try angelfire. they%26#039;re part of lycos, along with tripod, but they%26#039;re encouraging people to use their free poetry publishing along with their desktop blog editor. that%26#039;s really about it; you%26#039;ll find others, but they%26#039;re really obscure, and i wouldn%26#039;t recommend them because i haven%26#039;t used them. honestly, if you have the money to spare i%26#039;d just buy a pc and run it as a server and host your own site from home. then you can get a feel for both sides of it, developing the site, and administrating the system!
