For Any Web Author

by phynix1bmw , Sep 10 '00
Pros: supports HTML 3.2 and 4.0 combined, has 15Meg of space, and a code Library available
Cons: tiny little ad shows when you view the page
Geocities is one of the best places I think for free web space. You don't even have to be beginner as many people who know HTML 4.0, JAVA, and cgi use their web space. Even though at times it has been known for its reputation of having Porn pages it also...

I love Geocities!

by SirTrauma , May 31 '00
Pros: free,fast,easy
Cons: boring cgi-bin guestbook, FTP's may mysteriously disappear


I have been using geocities since before it merged with Yahoo. I have loved it before and ever since! Many moons ago, if you wanted to build a webpage, you used geocities. Then came tripod, angelfire, xoom, and a slew of others. But, I...

Terrible

by SuperCrazy , Jan 23 '00
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Long URLs, slow loading, ads, not enough space, disappearing files
If you don't mind huge addresses, slow loading, annoying ads, only 8 MB of space, and disappearing files, GeoCities could be for you!

- Huge addresses

UK NewbyView of Geocities

by gshoosmith , Dec 23 '00
Pros: Easy to build. Looks very professional. Easy to locate
Cons: Haven't encountered any yet.
Upon acquiring an ancient computer for the first time at the age of 61, I had very little idea of what the Internet was all about. I believe that we older denizens of the UK are at least several decades in arrear when it comes to our USA counterparts and...

Geopities

by MagickCat , Dec 21 '00
Pros: very easy to use, great place for beginners, quick building time, good features
Cons: pop up banner, unproffesional, annoying at times, etc
Definitely for the Yahooligian in the “heartland”.
Lets take a journey to Geocities; it’ll be a short one most likely, with mixed impressions and pop up banners gleefully appearing in your browser. No…don’t try to close them; it’ll only prolong...

Cats Galore

by MK2K , Jan 18 '00
Pros: 11 MB
Cons: Of Necessary Evil
All right. I have a debt of gratitude towards Geocities for allowing me to place my movie reviews there before I started to find better homes from them like Epinions.com and Filmcritic.com. I have another debt of gratitude on behalf of Richard...

The help is still there...

by vlmartin , Feb 10 '00
Pros: 15 MB of space, which is, really, more than enough for the average user; "Pages That Pay"; a tolerable customizable ad-square instead of a big honking banner ad
Cons: PageBuilder; many complain of useless, 'canned' responses from Yahoo! Customer Care.
I put up my very first home page using GeoCities as a host in the spring of 1996. Virtual domain hosting wasn't as widely available or inexpensive as it is now, and certainly the project I was undertaking at the time wasn't on grand enough a scale to...

Geo What? Geo Who?

by PolishFalcon , Feb 24 '00
Pros: Nice amount of web space given. Good load time.
Cons: Pop-ups! I can't stand those things. Also, the extremely long URL's.
I signed up for Geocities way way back, before it was Yahoo! Geocities, and other than the Yahoo! name on it, and the huge influx of people on it now, it doesn't look like much has changed. I mean that in a good and bad way.

The good thing...

"I hate Yahoo, but I love Yahoo..."

by ghettoprincess , Jul 24 '00
Pros: Uhm, it's free, but you already knew that...
Cons: No remote file loading....EVER!! Don't even think about it.
"I hate you....but I love you..."

I think Prince (or the "Artist" or whoever da heck he is now) sang that song back in the day. It describes the way I feel about Yahoo to a T.

Me and Yahoo! Geocities have...

Geocities Alone was GREAT

by SueModolo , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Newby friendly
Cons: Used to be a great service with help
I have been on the internet for about 2 years now. When I first started, I was into genealogy. I found a couple of good genealogy chatrooms plus the chatrooms at Geocities. Geocities also had a good variety of other chatrooms - help with your website,...

Geocities WestHollywood Community

by L1qu1d_eVe , Jan 25 '00
Pros: A community dedicated to alternative lifestyles
Cons: Being in one community makes it easier to be spotted by anti-alternativelife folks
Geocities WestHollywood community in my opinion is one of the bests collection of gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans homepages. Here you find a wide variety of laternative lifestyles. One of the reasons I put my homepage here, is because I would be around...

I don't trust them

by Zippygirl , Feb 27 '00
Pros: Free, lots of traffic
Cons: Not trustworthy
I had a homestead on Geocities for almost a year, before the infamous merger. During the stand-off, my site was held hostage. Because I was unwilling to assign rights to another artist's graphics to Yahoo!Geocities in perpetuity, I was not allowed to...

Reliable, but for novices only.

by quentin , Jan 28 '00
Pros: Strong community, shorter URL, adequate space, helps for novices, domain registration, integrated with the Yahoo! Service
Cons: If you demand space, this is not for you, ads, pros stay away from this one
Since 1996, I have been a Geocities member. It was a time long before they went public, before they began putting ads on member's pages, before they hooked up with Yahoo! Heck, I remember that they first gave you 2 Megs of space. Now, after all of...

Websites free and easy

by Greg_Kool , Apr 13 '00
Pros: Free and easy homepages
Cons: Slow accessing
I joined the Geocities community my freshmen year of college. At the time there was only a few communities and I found my place in College Park. Geocities was growing strongly but now that Yahoo took over it seems to have exploded.
