Crosswinds has also been around longer than Worldzone, but they don't seem to get mentioned a lot in these forums.

 

[EpidemiK]

This isn't a shameless plug of your host is it Webdude? But yeah as everyone else has said, Geocities, Tripod, Angelfire, Netfirms i think, and a few others probably.

 

[Belgiumdude]

Not sure why he would want to plug the free hosting when the paid is rocking! Take a look just on the first page of this thread for all the shameless plugs, some have died already. It just so happens that worldzone along with a treasured few are still there after many, many have gone down the gurgler.

Notice the at the end of my post, it was a joke. And as far as i know worldzone is going great.

Hmm...I can't really think of many hosts older than yours, Webdude.

 

[DjG]

I would have to say Tripod, Geocities and Angelfire. Hypermart were quite early (I think). Netfirms aren't really that old (I was one of the first users and before them I'd used Hypermart and FreeWWW.org (sadly no more). Virtual Avenue are pretty old too....

I have had a site at freeservers.com for a few years now. Fortune City seems to have been around forever too. The first website I ever had was at Xoom.

Crosswinds, if I am not mistaken, doesn't do Free anylonger and hasn't for quite awhile.

 

[diamyst]

I stand corrected. I visited Crosswinds and I see that they are once again doing Free. I had a poetry site with them about 18months ago and had to take it down because they did away with the free webspace. Or so they informed me.

 

[Cracker]

I used to use CW (until they got slow), and Vice President Tony Holmes claimed that CW will always offer free accounts as long as it survives.

 

[riseup]

How about Freeservers I used them for along time ago. Before I change to used free hosting without ads

www.dreamwater.com they've been around much longer than you, Webdude.
