Preserving the golden era of free web hosting. From personal homepages to web rings, guestbooks, and hit counters — the Tripod ecosystem that powered a generation of early web creators (1994–2017).
Launched in 1994, Tripod.com became one of the largest free web hosting platforms of the late 1990s and early 2000s. It democratized publishing before the rise of social media and blogging platforms.
Our archive focuses on sites hosted under *.tripod.com, *.homestead.com, and related domains. Many contained early interactive elements like JavaScript guestbooks, animated hit counters, web rings, and MIDI autoplay — hallmarks of the pre-Web 2.0 era.
Preservation efforts include full HTML/CSS recovery, asset reconstruction, and behavioral documentation of legacy scripts that no longer execute on modern browsers.
The original free hosting platform that gave voice to millions of amateur webmasters. Many sites were lost during the 2004–2017 shutdowns. This collection ensures they aren't forgotten.
