Sometime not long ago, when something was for free, it was probably only in our imagination and many will probably say that there is a catch. Today however, the question remains the same, only this time, its the other way around. If it is not free then it has to be something really super and worth the money. When someone tells us that you have to pay for a hosting service, most likely we will say that it is a SCAM or the hosting company must be "super" reliable.

Establishing an online presence in todays world is almost a must. Whether you want a blog or a website, the point is that the choices are many and one can not decide which one to choose. To make that task easier for you, I have compiled below the best sites that offer free web pages on the Internet. Please note that I am talking about sites that offer you the possibility of having your own blog or website hosted for free, some of which are so easy to set up, and some even allows you to run any type of ads you want.

My Most Recommended platforms:

1. Blogs.mu - Powered by WordPress MU, the multi-blog version of WP, users sign up for an account, and within minutes you are given access to Blogs.mu. Within that access, you can establish one blog, or a battalion of blogs under a unified brand. The only catch at the free level is that you are only allowed 15 templates to choose from and use a subdomain of blogs.mu, which is not unreasonable for a free service. Ads are allowed up to certain limits. This is a recent website that is generating a whole lot of buzz. I personally think that it is great.

2. Blogger.com - One of the most popular and user friendly content management system (CMS) available on the Internet. It is 100% free and you can start blogging in minutes. The platform is so popular that there are countless free blogger templates all over the Internet for you to choose and for free. If you know a little bit of html, then you can make wonders to a website. Unfortunately, although it is great, the catch is that you use a sub-domain of blogspot. However blogger allows you to customize your own domain (if you have one) and again for free.

3. Wordpress.com - Many people on the Internet say that worpress is the ultimate blogging platform. It really depends on what you intend to use your free pages for. If you want to monetize your blog, then you should go for blogger. Free wordpress will not allow you to run ads. Either than that, it is a great platform.

There you have it. These are the three best sites that offer free webpages. There are obviously a lot of them out there but I will not take the risk. Why bother, these three are good and most importantly very reliable.
