According to that information, when clicking on Free, they only offer
this for URL thoughts:
• Shorter URLs – Get a memorable Web address based on your member
name.

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.tripod.lycos.com/compare/compare.html" target="_blank">http://www.tripod.lycos.com/compare/compare.html</a> has it looking like
they allow you to point a domain name their way until you upgrade to
their $8.95 a month plan. Not unusual as many free site hosting
places, like Tripod or GeoCities, offer that perk for free.

If you've got a domain, you may as well get proper hosting for it.

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.staghosting.com" target="_blank">www.staghosting.com</a> is the best free host I've seen, with NO adverts!

My site is hosted there...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
