Google is one of the biggest names in the Internet business, and they offer a number of web hosting options.

Blogger

Blogger is a free service provided by Google for users to create their own weblogs, or blogs. When you set up a blog on Blogger you get a free webpage ending with .blogspot.com or you can use a domain name that you already own. Blogger features tools to add text, photos, and videos, and to label the items that you add and keep an archive of old posts. You can customize the look of your blog using Blogger’s templates or HTML. Blogger also makes it easy to develop a community of followers and get feedback from your readers. You can update your blog by email or through your mobile phone. You can use Blogger for a personal blog or a group one, and it is available in 41 languages.

Page Creator

Page Creator is a Google program created to allow people to use templates to design their own web pages without any HTML experience. Page Creator users can upload a fixed number of files to their web page for free. Google is no longer allowing users to open new Page Creator accounts, though existing accounts will continue to operate. Google requires new users to use Google Sites instead, and encourages Page Creator users to move their web pages to Google Sites or to another web host.

Sites

Google Sites is Google's new web hosting product. Google Sites is primarily intended as a tool for creating a group web page for offices, classrooms, families, or school projects, though individuals can use it as well. Users can choose to keep their Sites pages private, share them with a select group of individuals, or publish them to the World Wide Web. Many types of information can be added to Google Sites, including calendars, text, and videos. Those with permission to do so can edit the information once it is posted. It is designed to be easy to customize and edit without a knowledge of HTML. Like Google's other web hosting products, Google Sites is free.

How do I get started with Google web hosting?

To use any of Google's web hosting products you will need an account with Google. Go to www.google.com and click on “sign in” in the upper right corner to begin. To set up the account, you will need access to a mobile phone, because Google sends a verification code as a text message to your mobile phone for you to enter on your computer in the set up process. Once you have set up your account, follow the instructions to begin setting up your blog or web site.

Users should read the terms and conditions carefully before setting up their account, as this section explains how Google's privacy policy and copyright rules work. Users should be aware that, while the person who creates a document or other file and places it on a Google web hosting product owns the copyright to the work he or she created, Google reserves the right to use any material posted online through their web hosting service.
