Yahoo! GeoCities To Closedown After 15 Years
[adrotate banner=”45″]
After 15 years of being one of the top free hosting providers on the Internet Yahoo! GeoCities is to close down on the 26th October 2009 and all GeoCities websites are to be removed.
Yahoo! says that it has decided to take this action so that it can focus on “helping our customers explore and build relationships online in other ways”.
The Internet Archive is working to archive as much of GeoCities as possible so that its content will last for years to come. There is more information on this here.
This is an end of an era that sees a giant in the web hosting world finally close its doors after 15 years of continous service.
The closest service to GeoCities that will remain will be Yahoo! Web Hosting – however this is a paid for web hosting service.
