Homepages: Free Homepages

The best way to reach hundreds of users is an own Internet homepage. If you don't have the money to set up your own server or domain, you should take a look to the following service providers. You can set up your own homepage on their server, and it's absolutely free!!! So why should you wait? Or do you allready have your own homepage...?

But please note: Most of that servers do not allow any commercial homepages or ads. For details please take a look at the information pages on the specific servers. Also most providers want you to put a link back to their own homepage. Before signing up for any of these services you should carefully read the instructions, faqs and guidelines.
