Close to Yahoo! Geocities decision and announcement to shut down services with effect from Oct 26th 2009, a glorious time for free hosting is coming to an end. Geocities was my first web host when I entered the web world and started experimenting with HTML and related coding - alas, Geocities never had option to host JSP pages and that's when my romance ended with them.
Here is the screenshot from Geocities as I visited them today.
Now, Yahoo! is not the only one that is closing the door for free hosting options. Just two weeks after Rogers began forcing its Flickr users to pay U.S. $25 a year to keep using their Flickr Pro account, Rogers is telling its subscribers that it will no longer offer free personal web hosting.
In an email sent to its High Speed Internet (HSI) customers this week, the company said that effective October 26th, GeoCities, Rogers Yahoo! free web site building service and community would close.
Similar to users of Flickr, subscribers are given the option of move their websites to Yahoo!'s paid web hosting option for U.S. $9.95 per month. If you are one of those affected by this recent change from Yahoo! Geocities, we would welcome you to use our hosted services on Pubdomains.com - Green Web Hosting in Linux and Windows, with multiple single click install scripts such as Joomla, Drupal, OScommerce, WordPress Blog, PHPBB and more.
