Free Guest Book Hosting

While guestbooks aren't as popular with webmasters as they once were, there are still a few places offering to host them for free. If you want your visitors to be able to leave comments and you don't want to have to install a script or learn complicated coding languages, a remotely hosted guest book might be exactly what you are after.

Key features I'd suggest looking for are spam protection (to stop bots from flooding your guest book with unwanted advertisements), the ability to edit out unwanted comments and the ability to customize it to match the look and feel of your website.

Bravenet
Yup, another free tool bravenet supplies to budding webmasters! You can customize this guestbook with your own colors, fonts, images and questions. You can also ban IP addresses if you have an annoying user, turn on email notification and/or swear checking! They offer tons of other free resources for your website here as well!

A Free Guestbook.com
Set your colors and font preferences, choose optional smilies, whether you want your visitors to be able to include images in their posts and your language (they offer a ton of different languages!) and you're pretty much set. Paste the code into your website and instant guest book. You can also edit and delete any unwanted entries.

SiteGadgets
SiteGagdets free guest book allows you to customize the header and footers, have unlimited number of questions and each question can be toggled 'required' or not. Very simple to setup!
