Blogspot (weblog host) >> Set up your own blog at Google's hosted Blogspot service but ditch the yourusername.blogspot.com address. Here's how to map your custom domain name to your Blogspot blog.

If you're not familiar with Tumblr and tumblelogs in general, check out my previous feature on setting up an . (The blog at my personal domain, scribbling.net, is graciously hosted by Tumblr for free.)
Google Page Creator (static web pages) >> If you use Google Apps For Your Domain (and you'll want to, more on that below), you can use Google Page Creator to put together your nameplate or brochure site that comes up when visitors type your domain into their web browsers. Offering 100MB of free storage space, Page Creator comes with an in-browser WYSIWYG editor for designing and managing your pages, and a in-browser upload tool for images and other files (no FTP access).
Freewebs (static web pages) >> Freewebs supports custom domain names, too. When setting up a site for a friend, I found that while Google Page Creator doesn't let you use custom Javascript in web pages (like Lightbox 2, which is perfect for photo galleries), Freewebs did—but Freewebs only gives you 40MB of space, compared to Page Creator's 100MB. Like Page Creator,
