Gregory's Server@sarajw my first ISP offered email, Usenet and IRC, no web space. When I got my own phone line and ISP I got 5mb of space that I could FTP to.
I made my pages with notepad.exe and followed tutorials from the local Netguide magazine and htmldog

 @sarajw I spent days downloading a shareware/trial version of Front Page 97, connection kept disconnecting… I wound up with a cracked version of Dreamweaver which I spent time in the code editor part. CuteHTML was another editor I used in the early days as I also used CuteFTP for getting my websites onto the servers.  @flamed oh boom, throwback, I remember CuteFTP! I'm not sure I used or saw CuteHTML though 🤔 |
@flamed I did quickly migrate to notepad once I realised that Word kept inserting useless HTML elements 😄 but it was the WYSIWYG effect it had which got me started :)
Of course once I realised I could just open the .html file in the browser and refresh it after every change, the whole Word interface seemed very cumbersome. Everyone gotta start somewhere!
I remember W3Schools being very helpful back then, as well as view-source of course 🤩
