Can anyone recommend a website provider? - Geocities RIP!

[cguil_uk]

GeoCities current owner Yahoo! is planning on closing down GeoCities soon, perhaps as early as this summer.

I have a Geocities account (http://www.geocities.com/cguil_uk/index.html) and need a good, reliable and reasonably priced replacement. Any recommendations please?

Google offer free webpage hosting, but it's not as customisable as GeoCities is:

http://sites.google.com

If you want to be able to re-upload the same site to a new host you'd need to pick a free host from the following list:

Many ISPs also offer free webspace, so it would be worth checking to see if your host offers any

Hi Ian

This is great but are there any comparable UK ISPs, hosts etc. please? My ISP is T-mobile.

It doesn't look like T-Mobile provide free webspace, but there are plenty of good UK hosts that should work in a similar way (I guess geocities lets you upload using FTP). You'd need your own domain name to use many hosting companies though:

Actually. Tripod used to be a geocities competitor, and it looks like that is still going:

It might be worth reading up some more on that and see if it suits (it's free too).
