WordPress is probably a fair one. I don't know that I've ever been on a *.wordpress.com site (probably wrapped in a custom domain, but that's going to be oblivious to me. Seen tons using WordPress as in the tool though).
Edit: just did a search here for wordpress.com to see if anything shows up from the site itself. There are entries, but everything seems to be a communication of sorts from WordPress to developers (vip.wordpress.com, developer.wordpress.com, etc.) or an article about WordPress.com that is on techcrunch or the like. I'll grant you that Hacker News is probably not the gateway to the Internet for kids coming up now, so that probably doesn't say anything of importance (just figured maybe something that someone hosted there may turn up, but they may be custom domained and at that point, very unlikely someone is going from that site to WordPress.com to start up a site).
I just mean organically though. Hate to sound old, but back then, Yahoo was basically a nested index and Google if it was a thing at that point wasn't a commonly known one. Yet Angelfire, Geocities, etc. were easily located because sites hosted on them were shared so heavily and drop the /something/something (edit: from the URL) and it says "hey, you can create your own for free here".
I just did a search for "free website" and there was Wix, Wordpress, Yola, and Weebly. Going to assume those are legit, but the rest of my results (which were way more common than those 4 entries) were offshoots of "[best/top/10] web site builders 2019" or some random other ones that won the SEO game.
