Want a cheap and reliable web site that contains honest customer support and a credible, proven company to back it? Who doesn't? Look no further than Google. Yes, that's right, Google. Operating systems, Android, Maps, you name it and Google has put their stamp on it somewhere, but many don't think of Google as a proven web host. Well, think again!

Pages
Google Sites offers, not so much a web site, but a series of web pages branded together. Using an html layout editor, users can create a web site through a series of individual pages without the site visitor ever knowing that they're not visiting a true web page. As a web host, Google Sites does not use a cpanel, that is, an option where users can login to their own account and make changes as they see fit. Cpanels allow users to access email accounts, manipulate databases, etc. but, most users don't need the extras that the top web hosting sites offer.

Easily Adaptable
Google Sites is extremely user-friendly. No html is required and therefore there isn't any additional technical language to learn. In a way, Google Sites is a more detailed Facebook page. That is, the pages users can create in Google are strictly informative. Editing a site is very familiar to editing a word document. Site creators, or shall we say page creators, have access to an ever-expanding list of templates. They can embed files and set their own permissions so that each page can have a number of editors, much like a wiki site.

Google Sites is free of charge, but small businesses and larger companies will want to utilize a top web hosting company for the many extras they can provide. For the user who is looking for a free, user-friendly site, look no further than Google Sites.
