Yahoo Shuts GeoCities Web Hosting Services
- Yahoo to Close GeoCities Hosting Services.
GeoCities, one of the popular free web-hosting services provided by Yahoo is getting closed soon.
Your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web after October 26, 2009.
If you have a site hosted there, then you need to act fast now…
If you’d like to move your web site, or save the images and other files you’ve posted online.
Please act now by downloading your files or upgrading to Yahoo! Web Hosting.
It was a place where you could attempt to communicate with the world on a static page you got for free.
Yahoo! is the current proprietor of the site–a business they purchased in the late 90s for nearly $3.6 billion.
Seriously, what were they thinking?
They’re suggesting GeoCities’ users move to Yahoo! Web Hosting. It’s one last try to get some cash out of the site.
How sadly final of Yahoo to say “GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web.”
The name GeoCities will continue bring back fond memories for lots of the web’s early adopters, but like the recent CompuServe announcement most of us thought it was already gone!
