Does Comcast Offer Webpages?

Comcast's personal web pages are available to all customers who subscribe to Comcast's Internet service, known as Comcast XFinity Internet. There is no charge for this service. Each customer receives a personal web page with an address created by formula: customers can use either http://USER NAME.home.comcast.net or http://home.comcast.net/~USER NAME as their web address.

Comcast's personal web pages offer a number of features for customers to use. Customers can set up their page to support blogging, polling, weather, a guest book and contact form, a map and directions, even a calendar or event planner and a weather report. Customers are free to use their own tools to build their site, but Comcast also offers a user-friendly Web site Builder program and file manager, free to personal web page owners.

Comcast periodically upgrades its server, software and other aspects of its personal web page services. For example, a recent upgrade added greatly increased storage space, better memory sharing and social networking features, more widgets, updated file management software and photo gallery options. The updates to the Web site Builder software from this recent change are also billed as easier to use. But, as with any update, existing users also lose some features in the process. For example, in the same recent update, users lost access to certain clip art previously available.

Comcast's XFinity Internet service is a cable Internet service. Cable Internet is a form of broadband Internet, or Internet delivered at high speeds via digital transmissions. Cable Internet is, just as it sounds, distinguished from other forms of broadband by the fact that it is delivered via cable wires and lines. Comcast XFinity Internet can also be bundled with other Comcast services, such as XFinity digital cable television and telephone service.
