where to get a free homepage and
an email account
Getting a free homepage is EASY... Even I did it..!
All you need is an email address and a little knowledge of HTML (you could even
do it without any knowledge of html)..and if you don't have an email address..
you could scroll down to the end of this page to find out where you could get
free email accounts.. warning: I don't know if all of these still work.. I haven't
checked them for a while.. checked them out yourself.
the info on this
page are from like 3 years ago, and I know that these days there are a lot more
of these free homepage and email services, you probably can get them by looking
thru search engines and stuff... some of this may be pointless info to most
of the people, but I'll leave it for the people too lazy to go thru search engines.
homepage making is getting easier than ever...
Free Homepages
- Geocities
This is probably
one of the first free-homepage community... This is where I got my Homepage
the first time. They're divided into "neighborhoods" with similar
themes. The Asian neighborhood is called "Tokyo". and that was
why my old url contained"Tokyo" even though I'm KOREAN. This site
requires an email address and name, address and the usual stuff. It gives
you the option of making multiple pages with HTML, or a single page without
HTML. Maximum size is 2MB.and they have free email accounts for you if you
don't have one...
- Tripod
This site is a little
bit easier to use, requires you to become a member, which is free. Then
you could get a homepage of your own. This also gives you the option of
making multiple pages with HTML, or one page without HTML. The maximum size
is 200kb... and now they have those little advertisements at the bottom
of their pages and that gets a little annoying after a while..
- Angelfire
This site also
requires an email address, and it automatically lets you follow the steps
without using HTML. You could also add in HTML later. You could make multiple
pages, but you need to know HTML to link them all to a homepage and other
separate pages. The limitation to this is that you cannot upload anything
to the ftp site unless you become a "paying member".
- Infoland
I haven't really tried this one yet.. you have to mail in your web page
and stuff.. ??
- Powernet
Haven't tried this
one either.. try it~ nothing to lose right?..I think you could only create
one page..actually if you register more times you could create more..
- Marketnet
I think this is only for
advertising pages, not for personal pages..I'm not exactly sure...
- Hong Kong Cybercity
I personally think this is the best one, even though I set up an account
and never used it, because you get 5mbs of space, and you get a free 100kbs
every time you refer someone (please include my reference if you are creating
a page there).. and you get to choose your own "city" you want
to be in, instead of this Tokyo thing like I have it here.. the process
is a little bit difficult and you need ftp knowledge to create your page(s)..
and it's quite slow because it's in Hong Kong.. but if you don't mind those
things.. I think this is the best one...
- Bayside Net
10 mb's of space,
a free email account.. pretty good eh?.. I donno if they still have this
offer.. but about 2-3 months ago they had this offer..
- Nether Net
This one.. I don't
remember if I've tried it yet.. you get 3mbs.. (that's a lot..) try it..
- Lookups
I can't find anything
in this page.. it's a little weird.. but if you know your way around, you'll
be able to find things.. you get 100kbs of space and a free listing in their
directory thingy..
- Mainquad
they've updated a
lot of stuff since I last visited this place.. and it's a pretty good one
for college students and stuff.. and you also get a free resume listing
if you want to, and you could have a homepage even before you register..
etc etc.. go check it out
- Phrantic Com
The last time
I've checked this something didn't work there..but I guess it works now..???
- USA OnLine
This site requires
A LOT of things, and you have to pay $3.99 a month if you want to add images
and things and upload using FTP. For a plane page without any images, it's
free....
Okay.. I finally took the time to update this page.. and change it to boring
text-list format.. but it made it a lot shorter..Those are the free page sites
I know of.. Follow the instructions they give you and you'll have your own homepage
very soon. There may be more if you look them up in search engines. If you don't
know HTML at all, you could learn some from the NCSA
HTML primer. Good Luck and when you create your homepage, be sure to email
me your homepage address.
Free Email
Since i'm too lazy to describe them all.. I'll just put a listof links you
could go to to get them, and comments if i need to..
- Geocities (Free Homepage AND
email account)
- Juno (they'll send you the disks
and stuff.. and it's absolutely free.. you don't even needinternet access...but
I haven't gotten my disk yet so I don't know how good it is..)
- Hotmail (Web-based, you could check
your email on the www.. don't need to set up as much things, and you could
make an account right now.. you don't have to wait for the disk..)
- Chinet (Emailthem a request
for a free email account, but you need to have internet access to get the
mail)
- Bayside net (Just like Geocities,
they give you an email account and a homepage account)
there are a lot more.. you can always use search engines (although I have heard
that search engines cover only like 30% of the internet..) to find out more
convenient homepage communities.. when you're done.. email
me with your new address..!! have fun..
