Free website hosting popular in the nineties.

  Just like wix? But why it was popular?

    A bit like wix a bit like dreamweaver/frontpage and a bit like myspace rolled into one, free hosting and an applet based WYSIWIG editor. Also a bunch of components like chat, guestbooks, webrings, etc. The also had a virtual community concept, with street addresses so you had neighbors and things like that. In retrospect that was a terrible idea, but maybe the analogy helped some less technical people.

      So it provided some way to insert components like we see today or you can write html code as it is and the page gets created?

        there is a modern version of geocities, you can see what sites used to look like back in Web 1.0 https://neocities.org/browse https://neocities.org/browse geocities was the most popular way of having your own personal website back in the day, people were making websites for fun and you can see it in the sites and pages they created, overflowing with personality and quirks.

          Woah dude! I checked NeoCities and i got hooked up, checked the featured websites. So, my general question why Yahoo closed the Geocities?
