Angelfire is an Internet service that offers free space for Web sites. It was founded in 1996 and was originally a combination Web site building and medical transcription service. Eventually the site dropped the transcription service and focused solely on Web site hosting, offering both free and paid memberships. The site was bought by Mountain View, California–based WhoWhere in 1997, which, in turn, was subsequently purchased by the search engine company Lycos in 1998. As Lycos already offered Web page hosting with advertising through its acquisition of Tripod.com, Angelfire's offering was modified to also have parity with Tripod, including the addition of an increased amount of advertising, but also by offering more disk space.
Until May 2004, Angelfire offered free email (as a cobrand of Mailcity) at the @angelfire.com domain, but this feature has been replaced by Web-based email through Lycos Domains for premium users only.
As of 2008, Angelfire continues to operate separately from Tripod.com 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.
