Google Page Creator was a website creation and hosting service by Google launched in beta in 2006. It was a tool for basic website design, requiring no HTML or CSS knowledge.[1][2] Users just had to login to their Gmail account and got 100MB of hosting space and a Gmail-derived domain name and the service was completely free.[3]
In September 2008, Google announced that it would not accept new sign-ups to Page Creator, instead encouraging users to use Google Sites.[4] The service was shut down in 2009, whilst existing published pages migrated to Google Sites.[5]
The Page Creator Beta allowed non-professionals a way to host and publish their pages. However, it was limited to basic features such as templates and HTML editing, rather than tools such as message boards, chats, or blogs.[3]
