How to create a free web page

If you want to create a free web page, you have many options.

If you want to have a new site up in the next few minutes, and have some text ready to insert or photos to upload, just go to a site like facebook.com or bebo.com or blogger.com and sign up for a new, free account, then follow the instructions to get your material online. This is the quick and painless method.

If you want to take a bit more trouble, you can sign up with one of the free web page hosting services and create a free web page there. These sites include geocities.com, tripod.com, fortunecity.com and many more.

You will have the option of using a page builder to make the page look the way you want, or of uploading .htm pages if you have the skill to create them or know some html.

So you can see there are many ways to create a web page for free.

All of these options have some restrictions on what you can do - whether it be on the total file space you can have to use, the type of files you can upload, or the total traffic you can get each month. In addition, your page will not be fully under your control, since you and your page viewers will have to look at ads on your page, which are what makes the service free.

Blogs are much more flexible than they used to be, and you have a lot of options to create a free web page which looks good in sites like blogger.com. You don't have to use a free page here just for blogging, you can pretty well add whatever you want, including advertising.

When you are ready to move on, such experience with free web pages will serve you well when it is time to buy your own domain and get a hosting package.
