Yahoo Inc. announced recently that it will be shutting down it’s GeoCities Free Web Hosting services this year. Yahoo acquired GeoCities for $3 billion in 1999.

GeoCities no longer accept new accounts, and recommended it’s users to Yahoo Paid hosting services. This is a meesage from GeoCities Website.

After careful consideration, Yahoo! has decided to close GeoCities later this year. You can continue enjoying your GeoCities service until then — we just wanted to let you know about the closure as soon as possible. We’ll share more details this summer. For now, please visit the help center for more information.
