Yahoo! Geocities

GeoCities can be thought of as a nail in Yahoo!'s coffin.  Yahoo! bought this site from it's original developers for it's customers, but then never really did anything to keep it up.Free Home PagesThe idea was simple.  Users ...

Geocities is what you get for free when you have SBC Yahoo DSL which I've had for a while now. By the time my service contract with SBC was up I ended up keeping SBC not because they had a better website option but because they'd lowered their DSL price ...

Geocities... the list of puns could be drawn from the name itself, I'll leave that up to your imagination though. Geocities is okay, I mean it's free right? Yea' well in comparison to Angelfire/Tripod, I'll take the shorter URL and put up with the ...

Many yahoo.com users say that www.geocities.com is the best place to make and manipulate your personal website. Perhaps they are right and geocities.com is one of the best free site servers and space providers. Geocities offers you many features and ...

Ok, let me tell you what happened to me recently at Geocities. First of all, I got a SPAM from someone with a yahoo.com address. (What does this have to do with Geocities? You'll find out...). I reported the SPAM to abuse@yahoo.com. My email...

I set up my website (8.95 american, 13.95 canadian) and I couldn't upload anything using FrontPage 2002. I tried emailing customer service... got no response at all. Tried using the message boards... the person who responded was way too technical and...

I have been using Yahoo! Geocities for years now. I started out with a non-paying site, then upgraded to a paying site a couple of years later when my site gained popularity.

I went with Yahoo! Geocities Pro, which included no ads, 25mb of...

As long as you never have a problem, Geocities is great. Page Builder is easy to use and the pricing is fair. But, if you have a question not in the FAQs, watch out!! As far as I can tell, no one works in the CustomerCare department. I've sent at least...

Most of these epinions sound like people from Geocities wrote them. To shortly recap my experience with Geocities...for 10 days my email didn't work and I couldn't get a response from customer service. Then my account was cancelled without warning....

Pros: Runs off battle-tested servers; lots of extras; more space than beginning webmaster will need
Cons: Yahoo! shifting to paid service; free service slowly being compromised

UPDATE: With Yahoo having removed the FTP access from the free accounts, I find most of Geocities' virtue gone. If you don't plan to run a major site out of Geocities, go ahead.


I started out at Geocities three years ago. Back...

Yahoo is one of the big boys on the (WWW) World Wide Web. They have some 185 million users each month. Therefore they get lots of other companies advertising on there sites and search engines. That in my opinion is the big downfall with anything...

This service use to be great. I started with them in June 1997 because I really needed something to do to occupy my boredom and figured this was a great way to do it. Okay, in 1997 you got 2 MB's of space but back then that was enough. Also, in 1997...

Setting up the account seems very easy: your credit card is charged within seconds, and the process is promised to take 24-48 hours. THREE WEEKS after my credit card was charged, the "24-48 hour process" is still not complete. They don't have a published...

UPDATE: In early September 2002, I finally received my payment--issued in mid-August, some six months after they were supposed to have been sent out--from Yahoo!Geocities. I have therefore boosted their rating to 2 stars, but still will leave the...

I am a paying GeoCities Pro customer. When you pay for a service, you expect support. However, Geocities does not provide ANY customer service. My web page went fine. My e-mail never has worked right though. My "username@yahoo.com" account works fine,...
