Question: do you have to pay for google sites

Answer: No, In February 2006, JotSpot was named part of Business 2.0, ``Next Net 25'', and in May 2006, it was honored as one of InfoWorld's ``15 Start-ups to Watch''. In October 2006, JotSpot was acquired by Google. Google announced a prolonged data transition of webpages created using Google Page Creator (also known as ``Google Pages'') to Google Sites servers in 2007. On February 28, 2008, Google Sites was unveiled using the JotSpot technology. The service was free, but users needed a domain name, which Google offered for $10. However, as of May 21, 2008, Google Sites became available for free, separately from Google Apps, and without the need for a domain.
