This is the biggest and most-used geocaching site on the internet. Many geocachers go here and nowhere else. Run by Jeremy Irish and friends out of Seattle Washington, this site is what many people think of when they think of geocaching. The site hosts numerous events and promotions throughout the year, including Cache-in-Trash-Out (CITO) or park-cleanup events, Jeep promotions, and others. It also has the ability to track moving items such as travel bugs and geo-coins.

This is a break-off of geocaching.com that promotes earth science education. These caches may be located in sensitive areas where a traditional cache would not be appropriate.
www.navicache.com
This is a free cache database and the second oldest site for posting caches. Based out of Rochester New York, the site is run by PCMedic and Quinn, and has a somewhat more lenient policy with regard to the posting of caches than does geocaching.com. Virtual caches are encouraged and moving caches are permitted with some restrictions. The site does not currently have a way to post a Locationless (Reverse Virtual) caches. The flavor of the site tends to be more european, with many German caches being posted, for example. Many geocachers got their start on Navicache. Difficulty/Terrain, logging and viewing of caches is similar to the format on geocaching.com, though a bit more basic. Some cachers list and log their caches on both sites simultaneously, and this practice is encouraged.
www.TerraCaching.com
This website promotes quality over quantity and gives its members enormous power to decide what types of caches are allowed in their area through approval and peer review. Terracaching currently supports locationless caches as well. Terracaching.com welcomes all cachers who want to place caches that are more challenging than those that can be found elsewhere. Many Terracachers play on other sites as well. In order to gain access to the site, you must be sponsored by two existing players. If you don't know two existing players, just post a note in the forum with your City and any other details of your caching history, and you'll receive offers of sponsorship usually within minutes.

This is a great site for geocachers with physical disabilities. In an effort to make geocaching available to everyone, each listing on this site additionally rates the cache for it's accesibility. More information on each cache is given so that disabled cachers can determine ahead of time, whether they can attempt to find a specific cache, given their abilities. They encourage anyone using any of the other listing sites to post their caches to this site as well to help the less physically able geocachers enjoy this sport too.

www.geocaching.com.au
This is a fairly new listing site for Australian geocachers and started listing caches in January of 2005. It took off in part, because of the anger many Aussie cachers felt toward geocaching.com's response to the December 2004 tsunami disaster. Geocaching.com refused to list caches placed to solicit for organizations involved with tsunami relief - they felt these caches violated its no solictations rule. Many many people felt the magnitude of the disaster warranted a suspension of the rule.
