FREE E-MAIL

The following sites provide Free e-mail for life (at least that's what they say). They are classified by the amount of space they provide. The accessibility to the sites differs in terms of speed and access complexity. I found Netscape, Mailcity, and Yahoo to offer the best combination. Here is what each provider offers:

Netscape (5 MB of free space and easy access).
USA.net (5 MB of free space and you browser will pup up a new web page anytime you want to login).
Mailcity a Lycos based service (4 MB of free space and easy to access).
Yahoo (6 MB of free space and easy to use).
Exite (3 MB of free space).
Hotmail a Microsoft based service (2 MB of free space).

FREE WEB HOSTS

Geocities
Geocities a division of Yahoo provides 15 MB of free space in addition to its online tools that help you build your own home page. This site is one of the friendliest sites that you can use to build your website. The only set back to this site is that the space is limited, specially if you are planning on adding photos to your website.

XOOM
XOOM is another site that gives you up to 100 MB of free space, but their site is slow. I found this site to be hard to use to build a web page, specially when compared with the one provided by Geocities, Tripod, or the one provided by Spree.com.

Spree.com
Spree provides with you with unlimited space, but it has some set back to it:

Tripod
Tripod a division of Lycos is another site that provides you up to 50 MB of free space to build your own web page. This site is friendly to use, but this site is really slow. I had problem viewing pages I did upload to this site.
