Histori

Google Sites begins as JotSpot , the name and single product of software companies offering corporate social software. It is targeted mainly at small and medium enterprises. The company was founded by Joe Kraus and Graham Spencer, co-founder of Excite.

In February 2006, JotSpot was named as part of Business 2.0, "Next Net 25", and in May 2006, it was honored as one of InfoWorld's "15 Start-up to Watch". In October 2006, JotSpot was acquired by Google. Google announced a long data transition from web pages created using Google Page Creator (also known as "Google Pages") to Google Sites servers in 2007. On February 28, 2008, Google Sites was introduced using JotSpot technology. This service is free, but users need a domain name, which Google offers for $ 10. However, since May 21, 2008, Google Sites is available for free, separate from Google Apps, and without the need for a domain.

In June 2016, Google introduced a complete reconstruction of the Google Sites platform, named New Google Sites, along with the transition schedule of Classical Google Sites .

After a regional Turkish court ruling in 2009, all pages hosted on Google Sites have been blocked. It was done after one of the pages allegedly insulted the founder of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal AtatÃÆ'¼rk. In 2012 the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) ruled this violation of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights ( Yildirim v Turkey , 2012). The ban was lifted in 2014.
