Geocities?

[DanGarion]

Anyone here still using Geocities to host of website? If you are, you may know that Yahoo is eventually going to shut those services down (new accounts can't be created anymore).

Just wanted to throw this out for those of you that have a Geocities account, Dreamhost (the host that I've used for about 4-5 years now) is offering 2 free years of webhosting to the first 1000 Geocities customers that make the switch to them.

“In honor of WebRing” or something, we are now offering to the first 1000 GeoCities users who sign up TWO YEARS of a completely free DreamHost account (including domain registration)!

No strings attached.

All you have to do is verify you are an existing GeoCities customer by creating a page on your GeoCities account (or editing an existing page) to have the phrase “I’m off to DreamHost!” on it!

Then when you signup (https://signup.dreamhost.com/) for us, simply put the full url to that page as your “promotional code” and you’ll get a 2 year plan (normally $214.80) free!

And we promise to never shut down.

That's a pretty good deal and a great way to get new customers for DreamHost.

Man, Geocities is old school - I remember using them, Angelfire, and Tripod way back in the day. Good times.

it's almost worth looking to see if I have any of my old geocities pages still running.

I still use geocities -- it's free and I didn't have to do much to find it. Then again, I only use it rarely, just to share files. I don't think I'll move to DreamHost thought -- if I ever need to put files somewhere people need to see it, I'll poke around for something else free.

Last chance for 2 years of free hosting for soon to be former Geocities users...
