Neocities
Create your own free
website! is a free hosting service, launched June 28 2013, that gives users 1 GB of storage space and no server-side scripting, the service's expressed goal is to revive the support of "creativity and free expression" along with a basic HTML editor to create a website.
To create a site, people will need to learn rudimentary HTML–just as they did with GeoCities before its shutdown. Developer Kyle Drake acknowledges that this isn't for everyone, but thinks there needs to be an alternative to the current pre-formatted, template-driven, standardizing platforms, which make it easy to have a web presence, but hard to make that presence your own. “If you look at sites like Facebook," he says, "they control the type, shape, and arrangement of the content you contribute, and deviation is not possible.”
Basically, Drake hopes people will use it to make the Web more interesting. The beauty of NeoCities, says Drake, is that it bucks the "collective mentality that you can't make real sites without complicated back-end servers." Although he chose the size limit to keep things affordable, he says "it was also a suggestion that you can do a lot with a small amount of space."
Drake thinks this combination of the old web's spirit and the new web's maturity will encourage users to let their freak pages fly. He's hopeful that people will see his project's real potential and actually make cool sites.
