Angelfire is an Internet venture offering free space for web sites, targeted primarily at teens but popular in all demographics. In the distant past, it was long known for providing advertising-free hosting. (It also offered, strangely, medical transcription services.) It was able to accomplish this with relatively low costs initially by requiring moderator review of all member content before it could be accessed as well as extremely low disk quotas. The site was bought by Mountain View, California-based WhoWhere which was itself subsequently purchased by search engine company Lycos. As Lycos already offered web page hosting with advertising (through its acquisition Tripod.com), Angelfire's offering was modified to also have parity with Tripod, including the addition of ads but also by offering more disk space than previously. (This was consistent with competitor offerings, such as Geocities.) Unlike sister site Tripod, Angelfire has often taken a more humorous slant to some matters, such as famously placing joke messages on error pages. Over the years, this additional levity has gradually become less pronounced. Sometimes we like to get a little crazy and type in totally random URLs to see what happens. This is what happens. Actually, we couldn't find the page you requested. Please check the URL. As of 2005, Angelfire continues to operate separately from Tripod and now includes features such as blog building and a photo gallery builder. It also supports, for paid members only, CGI scripts written in Perl. In the past, Angelfire offered free email (as a cobrand of Mailcity), but this feature has been replaced by webmail for premium users only (through Lycos Domains). Although the Angelfire and Tripod are very much separate sites, they do share much of the same underlying software, such as the blog application. Despite some similarities, the two brands do have very different demographic targets with Angelfire being targeted more at the teen audience and Tripod aiming more for college-age and older.  This World Wide Web-related article is a stub.
