Reliable, spacious, and allows html.

I like google pages. It gives you a ton of space for free, but it doesn't incorperate html very well. It's ad free though. My second pick would be geocities. It only has some minor ads. (although annoying) It has a basic html editor and you can upload your already existing html pages easily. I would also advise you to go to www.dot.tk (if its still running) to get a free domain name (.tk) It might have one irritating add before you can enter your website, but i think it's worth it.

EDIT: other than my two choices? Well freewebs is ok, but it really sucks. I have never found anything reliable thats good out there. Maybe try dotster.com?

freewebs.com

Now that we are having this ask/answer program on yahoo website. :) how about geocities.com.

If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a "homepage" which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage. Nevertheless, the "homepage" URL is likely to be "http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscribe... name" and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., "mydomain.com" which allows you to link any registered domain name to "mask" another website. For example, should you type in "domainname.com", you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... name will be masked by the domainname.com. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE. Here's a demonstration: Type in the URL window: "www.pizzanextdoor.com" which will bring up their pizza website. Take note of the domain name. Then type in the URL window: "http://home.pacbell.net/vten/1a/pizzame... and you will see that this is the original homepage which is unmasked without the domain name!
