    google itself has not done good in this market.

    first they launched http://pages.google.com/

    and now they are forcing people to migrate to google sites.

    google sites is different from google pages as it is more of a wiki than a static site builder.

    of course there are. we also have tons of free blogging services. but services like tripod and geocities made it possible for us to have a web page way back in late 1990s.

    I was using it for temporary storage of small files . Make files , store it on Geocities in
    organized manner ; give links to the needed . You may not believe , its a considerable
    loss for me . I may not get such simple hosting elsewhere ...

    Here is the Geocities Announcement :
    Important Announcement

    After careful consideration, Yahoo! has decided to close GeoCities later this year.

    You can continue enjoying your GeoCities service until then — we just wanted you to let you know about the closure as soon as possible. We'll share more details this summer. For now, please visit the help center for more information.
