Yahoo! Geocities

Pros: Very easy to use, lots of webs pace, for me anyway.
Cons: Some features cost money.

Before I learned about all these other web page making websites, I was stuck with AOL. I was so bad with it's slow uploading (keep in mind I'm always using a 56k), bad HTML (using copy/paste from other websites wouldn't appear right), and, at least back...

Pros: Easy to use, great add ons, good for html and for wizards
Cons: None yet.

I am in college for computers and have enjoyed all of my computer classes, but couldn't wait to take HTML. I was really interested in learning more about it. When the class started, I was impressed with what you could do with it. I had previously used...

Pros: free web space
Cons: Annoying full-sized pop-up window, bad experiences

GeoCities was one of the first web site communities I joined back around 1995. Up until then, my projects had been on free university web space and on the old freenets (remember them???) that you accessed through a telnet connection. So it seemed a...

Pros: Free and ample rrom and space for beginners
Cons: Amlost Everything

Well.. Let me begin with a little background. I first leaned html, in a true html editor.. like front page... I then let it slide for a couple years. Then I resorted to WYSIWYG type programs.. as I will epinionize later, they basically suck. I had to...

Pros: Free, Easy, Lots of add-ons
Cons: Pop-up ad, slight lag from time to time

Geocities is a great place to send people who aren't too familiar with setting up their own web site. The tools that they offer with their service allow you to create, upkeep and spice up your pages without really needing to know any HTML. And it's...

Pros: this is a pretty decent learning site
Cons: I recommend homepage.com over geocities.com for a beginner page

When I was first starting out with my own homepage I was looking for one thing and one thing only, FREE. I didn;t want to sign up for a homepage and then discover that I didn;t like it. So, free was my main criteria. After using a number of free...

Pros: Ease of use, nice interface, CL Program, lots of snazzy add-ons, plenty of tutorial help, novices will have no problem designing their site.
Cons: Strict content guidelines, mandatory ad boxes, merger with Yahoo! has lessened community aspect and appeal.

While in college, during some long, boring hours of work at the front desk of my residence hall, I decided that since everybody else had one, I just had to have a website of my own. Not being made of money, I decided to check out one of the free hosting...

Pros: Easy to use and free!
Cons: Banners must appear on all pages

Review of Geocities.com (October 10, 2000)

I love the internet. I love all of the information stored here. I love to learn about new things. I also love things that are free! With this said, how can I not absolutely love Geocities.com free...

Pros: file uploading
Cons: animations

I just signed up with geocities. I've been having problems with homepages at Hotmail and decided to try another free homepage service. The thing I like about geocities is the fact that you can upload up to 20 files. It even puts all your file in...

Pros: see opinion
Cons: see opinion

So far I've only tried two homepage communities, meaning sites that give you webspace for making a webpage: homestead and geocities. Geocities is a good service. It's free and it's got an easy WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) webpage editor. you...

Pros: easy, hassle free login, user friendly community, extra add-ons, pop-up ads now changed, community search engine, even with the Yahoo merger, one of the first around remains one of the best
Cons: they've given you more space but still not as much as others, long URLS (but do have shortcuts now)

Geocities, ranked number 7 for now, among the webspace communities for your webpage, is a very good server for you to choose to build your new site on! I’ve tried others like, Tripod, Angelfire, and Zoom, for other parts of my site, or just to help...

Pros: You don't need to know html and be a computer whiz
Cons: some odd things happen, and it's not aol friendly.

Well I have AOL and everyone said Geocities was the best place to build a page. So I went, but I couldn't build right away. Why not? well, I have AOL, which doesn't support Page Builder, the easy way to build with Geocities. I had a MAC at this time,...

Pros: It's free.
Cons: You pay for the "free" service with frustration and tacky ads.

Back in the day (early 1995), I set up my very first website on Geocities. The fact that I could only edit the pages in HTML and I had to do it while online at Geocities didn't bother me too much. I knew HTML pretty well and I didn't have a good web...

Pros: Fast, easy uploads, easy to use file manager,
Cons: pop-up windows

I have tried a number of other build-your-own-homepage sites -- Fortunecity [long down times, slow uploads], Talkcity [extremely difficult file manager], Tripod, Xoom [the less said the better] -- and Geocities is by far the easiest and the best. I have...

Pros: Neat, easy to navigate
Cons: None

I have been with Geocities for over two years now. I signed up pretty much to get myself my own web site space (http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Tower/2937/)and get the feel of how it was to have one. But after a year my priorities have changed since I...
