I had some experience with Google Sites and I HATED IT!
Hmmm, it looks interesting, however, it doesn't look like you can do a lot of customization with your site, Google only provides three different themes. Also, it doesn't look like you can upload your own files, there is probably no support for PHP or MySQL either, so I'll pass. However, if anyone finishes the registration process, and Google Sites actually turns out to be a valuable Free Hosting Service (Im not 100 Percent sure, I looked at the sign up page and decided not to go through with it) please reply in this thread with details. Also, how new is Google Sites, I have never heard of it before.
I don't like it. Google has a reputation for bad (X)HTML and this tool doesn't seem to remedy that problem. Although I haven't actually USED it (I have an account there), I still prefer creating my own HTML pages, which can include PHP and MySQL as well as lots of other advanced features.
This may be good for beginners, but it certainly isn't good for web designers and developers. I even think that Dreamweaver is better than this.
I tried it before and I hated it. There is not enought customization. Its your site and you want to make it represent you but with google sites you can hardly change anything
OK folks, but you have to remember that google does not aim at the crowd we represent. Quotes from their website include "Single-click page creation", "No HTML required". For me it's quite obvious they've designed the service for people who find things like myspace too limited, while having no knowledge or time to create a full blown website of their own. It's kind of a one-stop-shop for a somebody who feels a need for his own place on the Net, perhaps for school-related activities as well. I believe that for people who can't divert a lot of resources (time/money/learning) into this, it's a invaluable service. And with google provides it for free, we can't really blame them it's simple.
i think its not good..its painfull to type and check ur code while you are online..
why not try zymic.com or geocities.com..zymic provides 6000mb space,,5 sql databases,php hosting..all for free..geocities provides 15mb web space with your file manager to upload html,applet pages
Hi,
I trust google. I think they will do the best. It must be a new service they are developping. If you have any suggestions for the hosting service it will be good to mail it to the google. Google will take care of it. Thanx
As far as i know the Google Sites service is also included with all versions of the Google Apps service, which i use for a while and i'm happy with it, but some months ago i tried this application -Google Sites- and only to say that i don't like it, so finally i disable it from my Google Apps.
In my opinion while it is very easy to use on the other side it is very difficult to edit and customize your pages in the way you want, it does not support any type of server side language like php, you can't use databases like mysql with it, etc. BTW, Google offers another service for creating your web site called Google Page Creator, the difference is that while Google Sites is oriented to groups of people, families or companies Google Page Creator is oriented to individuals. Both services are very similar and includes almost the same functionalities. Best regards,
At a first glance, google site looks good for personal user.
If anyone wish to create web site but do not know how to scripting. The google site is one of a choose. It also provide many google components for insert to the page you created. So, speed up the pages of creation. Beside that, you also change almost color and setting on a typical web page such as background image and background color. And the most important is, you can point a domain name to it so shorter the domain name. This is url I just created. http://sites.google.com/site/openwares/ Nothing for now and soon will place some stuffs to it as I work with it. P.S. I have just checked out the Google Page Creator also. But seems that this service was stopped and replaced by the Google Sites.
What I particularly hate on this site is that you cannot delete a file. Once you have uploaded a file and you realize that you did not want to make this file public, there is no way to remove it from your google site.

I personally do not believe that this would be a good website choice for people like me who like to be able to write their own website either using html coding or using a program such as dreamweaver. I myself am making a website so this google hosting would not be a viable choice or path for me to take because it does not seem like you can upload custom made pages but instead have a simple standalised shell of a webpage which would not stand out from the many millions more webpages that are out there. It would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, just plain and boring and that is not what you would look for in a website. There is many more free hosting providers who have both pre assembled themes and the ability to create your own.
So which choice would you make? the plain site or the site that jumps out at you? QUOTE (surfermac @ Sep 6 2009, 01:36 PM)  even if you make one it still remains a subdomain of the google and not fully your own site Am i right???? i have already seen this stuff but its not worth it Effectively, your site is a subdomain of the google domain. However, it's fully your site, it's content is exactly what you inside it.
even if you make one it still remains a subdomain of the google and not fully your own site
