야후는 마침내 장기간 운영해 온 무료 호스팅 서비스인 지오토시스를 종료하기로 결정했습니다. 야후가 지오토시를 35 억 7 천만 달러라는 거액에 인수한 것은 10 년 전입니다.
오늘부터 더 이상 신규 가입이 불가능하며, 연말까지 모든 기존 계정이 폐지됩니다. 활성 사용자는 계정에서 데이터를 다운로드하여 보관할 것을 권장합니다.
Yahoo 는 여전히 사이트를 계속 유지하고 이전하려는 분들에게 유료 서비스이지만 전문 웹 호스팅 서비스를 제공하고 있습니다. 다른 분들을 위해서는 Blogger 나 WordPress와 같은 무료 호스팅 서비스로 이동할 수 있도록 지원됩니다. Yahoo 는 어려운 시기에 비용을 절감하려는 것으로 보이며, Geocities 가 상당한 자금을 소모하고 있는 것 같습니다.
제 기억으로는 90 년대에 제 첫 웹사이트를 지오토피아 (혹은 엔젤파이어?) 에서 만든 것 같습니다. 블로그가 널리 알려지기 전 그 시절에는 지오토피아 계정을 갖는 것이 유행이었습니다.
sino may account ng geocities?
nabigyan kasi ako ng parang promo para mgmigrate sa new host system kaso need ng account ng geocites un ang pang verify na subs ka nga. free domain hosting at registration for 2 years with unlimited bandwidth. meron pa ako 5 code. email nio lang ako d2 ge****@gmail.com
I use to have geocities account before when i started web developing,is was a big contribution with my learning.
RIP to geocities. lol
awww, nandun yung first ever website ko! hehe.
Geocities will always be remembered, a website back then http://geocities.com/itlivewire/main.html
That’s sad. I too used to have a Geocities account.
it is home for some bogus sites too… maybe that’s one of the reason they have to shut it down. well, its just a maybe.
Sabi na nga ba darating rin to. Closing Geocities to clear up some space for their unlimited storage in email. Tsk3
lol i think geocities is ugly
i will miss geocities
One of the first websites are in Geocities and angelfire.
It guess its about time to cut on operating expenses that does not bring profit.
Sa Geocities ko rin ginawan ng sites ang orgs ko sa college nung mid to late 90s.
Ouch! I’m a very sentimental person. I value my first site; that is hosted on Geocities.
Thats really sad…I will have to download all of my files. Thanks for the info. It was really helpfull.
I’ve had my first ever website built at Geocities too. Though i only used their free templates, but also had my first tastes of what HTML was about.
Papalitan ba nila ung Geocities ng ibang hosting program?
i used geocities too. it’s a pity that yahoo didn’t properly manage geocities it had potential.
the images in my blog are hosted by Geocities :D time to backup them! WAH! :-0
we will miss you geo. my first hosting website… /sob
In early internet times, many websites hosted @ geocities where I download beauty & porn pics, hehe. Kind of sad indeed ~~~
I used to have lots of websites hosted by geocities.. geeez this is sad :(
aww i remember my first geocities website back in 1995.. it was a tribute to my favorite rap group Wu-Tang Clan.. hahaha wow how times have changed
hindi ako nagkalakas ng loob mag open ng site sa geocities before. i hope this wont happen to blogger and wordpress.
I created a site also at geocities before I actually started blogging. The site is still up, though I’ll be sad about this development. You can still access the site I had at geocities.com/jotuvillo
I guess this is expected since the US Companies are on the losing side. Most of the corporations are in debt.
Maybe Yahoo is cost-cutting and shutting this down is the best option to save more this 2009.
what?! Geocities shutting down?! They’ve shut down Yahoo! Briefcase first, now this? well, yeah! I really feel nostalgic about it. This is where my first website was hosted. Now, i’m using Google Pages. And Blogger too! They’re easier to use.. And I like that they’re using AJAX technology. :)
I’ve used that on my very first html project in Highschool.

Ah nostalgia! I hope users of the sites I’ve bookmarked have heard of this and would backup their sites, some of the best references for local history are hosted on Geocities.
its sad to say that there would be a lot of newbies in website building that would be affected. my first website is also hosted on geocities.
aww, i used to have a site on geocities because of the large space they gave you (50MB was it?) but then i used angelfire as my url because it was shorter
sad news… i learned basic HTML with this service
Waaa. ang una ko na site geocities T_T
oh my..that was my first free hosting..

OH My I remember my first website hosted @ geocities waaa *away need to save old website and old files…*
