The reason that I chose geocities to upload my website is that is was simple to use. I have previously created a website and uploaded and hosted it using 100webspace.com. I had difficulties using this to upload my website due to the way in which I had organised the folders containing text and pictures. This made the process difficult and took a long time as I had to edit the html code and change some of the file names so that images were recognised.
I found geocities as it is a service offered by my email/ISP. The service was very easy to use as my email address meant that I already had a user account. I logged onto geocities and all I had to do was browse for my files, and click open. Due to the problems I hade encountered previously I saved all files relating to the website in one folder. I appreciate that with a larger and more complex website this would not be a feasible way of file management and that it would be beter to create folders for different web pages.
Once I had selected all the files and clicked on upload, they were uploaded and my website worked instantly. This was really easy to do and took less than 5 minutes. I would recommend this service due to its ease-of-use.
