Guestbook guides
UltraGuest has hosted free guestbooks since 2003. These pages explain, in plain words, how to put a guestbook on your website, how the moderation and spam protection work, and how UltraGuest compares with other guestbook services. Nothing here requires programming knowledge.
Guides
- How to add a guestbook to your website – sign up, verify your e-mail, paste the link code, match your colours or add custom CSS, and switch on moderation, notifications and the RSS feed. Includes a section for Neocities and other static sites.
- Guestbook moderation and spam – what every guestbook gets automatically (a human check, no links, rate limits, content rules) and what you can switch on yourself (approval, word filter, blocked IP addresses).
- Frequently asked questions – cost, ads, languages, private messages, exporting and deleting your data, the GDPR, custom CSS and inactive guestbooks.
Comparisons
Choosing a guestbook service is easier with the facts side by side. Each comparison describes the other service with statements taken from its own website in September 2026 and links to it, so you can check the current details yourself.
- UltraGuest vs SmartGB – two hosted guestbook pages with different approaches to themes, ads and links.
- UltraGuest vs HTML Comment Box – a hosted guestbook page next to an embedded comment widget.
- Free guestbook services compared – eleven services in one table.
