geocities is ok for beginners, but if you want to run any javascript or do anything other that plain html, you have to go elsewhere. The ads are really annoying and take forever to load.

Yes Geocities is more of a beginners thing...I dont really find the ads to be too long of a load, but i have highspeed so it may be different if you have dial -up.
Geocities is alright for doing a page REALLY quick as its very easy to use..but like reatum said you can't do anything with javascript or anything besides html.

Yes me to i do agree this could be a great site for people who are just starting, also be great for kids with school projects, other things, but for a real professional site a BIG NO NO . Even tho like alot of people are posting lets get back to Trap17 so i did a small chart.

Ads - Trap17 No/Geocities Yes
Alot of spcae for files - Trap17 Yes/Geocities Yes
Frontpage - Trap17 Yes/Geocities No
Profesional Looking - Trap17 Yes/Geocities No

Well you can see from there Geocities got 1/4 while trap17 got 3/4. So Trap17 wins for we do not want ads so good for 3/4. Well that is my two cents on this.

I think Geocities is OK but the ads are annoying and you can only have one picture per page unless you have a photo album

Geocities would be decent but they have banner ads i can take a singl banner on top and even a additional one on buttom but when they have bar ads which have like 4-6 ads that all clash together and lag dialup vistors and gettign worse the ads take up your own bandwidth YES YOURS they now apply iframes and all against you when in reality thats not really taking up your bandwidth, Then they have the massive pop ups with adware and spyware if they screened there ads better maybee even left the bar ad made the popups popunders (which more people view anyways because they dont have the urge to close them rigth away) as to kill the amount of spyware they would most likely get more customers and make even more of the more effective logical ad methods But even novices shouldn't use then I feel they, unless changed, will die soon because the public in general is becomming more aware of spyware (although alot are still as stupid as they get) so more people are staying farther away from the spyware infested hellhole...

So if you asked for my review you got it and if you didnt to bad....
All in all I would recommend goign to geocities to NOBODY,
Because I cant even begin to compare them to Trap17!

Geocites is good for beginners, but not good for buisness or large website hosting.
People will look down on you if you use geocites as a host XD
first off: Space and bandwidth. The bandwidth you get would be good for like...less then 50 people a day to visit...then your site goes down for an hour X_X jeez,,,,
ads: ARGH! I hate those ads! They are definatly NOT the best ones if you have iframes, really small iframes.

scripts: doesn't support PHP or mysql. That's another reason why people look down on your site, even if you're really graphics experianced.

So, Geocites isn't the best host ever.

i used to be hosted at geocities, i maded my first website there, with help of the page builder, of course it looks very unprofesional but what can we do, it helped me to learn to made websites, also the hosting package is very limited unlike trap17 who has greater things and its for more advanced users (who know how to use all or most of all trap17 Cpanel's feature) @@
