Alternatives to Geocities

Posted on May 10, 2009 in All Posts, Articles, Beginner Help, Free Hosting, Online Tools

chickenexplode_e0 With the word that Geocities would be closing, “sometime in 2009” many of the Geocities users are looking for other places to host their content.  Even though Geocities is closing the door on it’s free hosting, there are still many free hosting alternatives to Geocities.

Free Hosting – Two free web site elders that might someday share the same fate as Geocities are still around.  Both Angelfire and Tripod are still around.  Here are a few more to choose from:

  • 50Megs.com – Offers users 50 MB of disk space to host their files.
  • Bravenet.com – Also offers 50 MB of disk space and 1.5 GB of bandwidth.
  • 110MB.com – You get 110 MB of disk space with them (who would have guessed?) and 10 GB of bandwidth for free.

Specialized Hosting – For those people wanting to host their own blog, you might look into wordpress.com and their free blog hosting service.  If you want to get started with a forum, check out freeforums.org.

Shared Hosting – For those people moving from Geocities to another location, it might also be time to look into shared hosting plans.  There are many low-cost web hosting plans out there to choose from, and they will give you much more disk space, bandwidth and resources to work with.

One more place to check out for free hosting suggestions would be TheFreeSite.com.  Hey have a lot of suggestions when it comes to free web site hosting.

    Hey Mitch,

    Thanks for adding Jimdo to the list! If anyone is wondering what exactly we’re offering, our developers hacked together a basic import to make migrating a site from GeoCities a little bit easier.

    Jimdo is basically a hosted CMS with a really easy to use WYSIWYG editor — it’s free, so you don’t have to take my word for it :)

    Sir,

    This is a request to yahoo! not to close geocities. I would soon be launching a blog to stop…and collect people comments on why not to do so.

    Pls , forward this and whoever reads this post a message to the yahoo! support team to reconsider and stop it for doing away with Y! Geocities.

    Where, will yahoo! get it visitors and those earnings it gained through Geocities.

    Rgds,
    Kapil

I am compelled to tell you that your internet site is massively cool I genuinely like your theme! Correct now I’ve a lot of free of charge time to go by way of your website so I saved. I are going to be back soon. Kudos to get a fantastic site.

    Can I make a suggestion? I feel youve got anything great right here. But what should you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre declaring? Or perhaps you could give us something to appear at, some thing that would connect what youre saying to some thing tangible? Just a suggestion.
