Awful, truly awful. If anything goes wrong, you are stuffed, as their customer services seem as slow as tectonic plates at responding to anything and have almost no IT knowledge. Three times in the last month my site has been knocked offline, each time because they did something wrong on their end. They said, "We are sorry to inform you that whilst upgrading PHP/mySQL some errors were made... We hope to have your site back online within a week."... a week! That was the last straw; I changed hosts and never looked back.

This was my first website host, and it seemed really good at first. Later they banned my web site because the Terms of Service did not allow the space to be used as storage space of files.  I could not even use the site to host my programs! Another reason they deleted my site could have been that I linked to my Wordpress blog, which they must have thought I was using to cheat for more space. I do not recommend this site at all.

So, let's start with the positives - They are free web page hosting server, good for starters, and yes, you get Yahoo! Mail which is now UNLIMITED for FREE; you get this nifty upload page, and that is about it. Now with the negatives - the URL system ("/you" thingy) is very bad, they put ads, very annoying ads! They allow no scripting stuff no other databases, etc. For starters who are just learning HTML and want to share it to their family, relatives, friends and obviously, the whole world, I would recommend Geocities, but do not even dare to ask a single question about the how the ads show up that "you did not code". I have used this freehost for a week. Why such a short period of time? It is because I was looking for a bannerless and reliable yet free web hosting provider, and Geocities is not that reliable, and obviously it is not bannerless. So I did not care much about the downtime because I took it down after that. They are so incredibly slow! Back then I was coding with tables and then using FrontPage, and my site loaded very much slower! I never bothered to contact their support because I figure they do not care since they are so big.

I have created 2 free websites for home owners associations, one that has been running for a few years now and another one about 3 months ago. Geocities keeps canceling the new one for TOS violations. The only linking on it is to another page in my website area. So I guess you can have only a 1 page website??! The older site has been updated and not locked yet, but it is probably only a matter of time.

They put a horrible ad-box on your free homepage. For those who have not tried it, the ad-box destroys much of your webpage with unrelated advertising, which made me think twice before adding another page.

An ad box filled up 1/3 of the page full of unrelated content! Horrible.

It was great at first, with no downtime of course, until I received an e-mail saying they had canceled my account because it was recently identified to be in violation of the GeoCities Terms of Service, which says that you can not use your free web pages as storage space for remote loading or as a door page or signpost to another homepage, whether inside or beyond Yahoo GeoCities website. Seemingly you cannot even link to other web sites. Very bad!

I like the fact that you get your own personal email to sign up, and also to host cool stuff like video playlists. That is what I came here searching for, but I am sure I will find many other uses for their free webpage hosting!

I no longer have a url on geocities, because they have locked me out of my freewebhosting account for the last time. Oh, of course they say it is my computer, and that it must be too much activity on my server, or I have this or that. My husband has an account with Yahoo Geocities, and he can access his account on my computer. Therefore the problem is with yahoo geocities. The truth is geocities used to be great until years ago when they made the fatal mistake of merging with yahoo. It has gone downhill ever since. They are constantly causing all sorts of technical difficulties with your account that never get resolved. Their answer is to purchase their premium account, and all your troubles will go away. LOL. If the free account has this many problems, then why would I ever want to pay for it?! Take my advice and stear clear of yahoo geocities. It is a real nightmare. Believe me when I tell you that there are loads of free web hosting providers that never give you problem just because you have one of their free accounts!

I do not know why Yahoo Geocities free web page hosting has such low rating. I know this is not the best free host ever, and if you want to host some site with PHP or or Mysql for example, you can not use it, but for a simple HTML site that does not have that much visits it is great. There is just a little ad. let's get serious here. non-ads free web hosts are strange; believe me. they are not just good persons that came to this world to help us poor mortals to have a web-hosting free of charge, AND free of any ads. This host works fine for me. My web site only stayed 1 or 2 times offline in all these years I have used this host. It is acceptable at least. great host, I say!
