Definition

"GeoCities was a once very popular web hosting service founded in 1994 and purchased by Yahoo in 1999. Marked by its once-generous allotment of 15 megabytes and the free (with added advertisements) price, it was at one point the 3rd most-browsed site on the World Wide Web".[2]

Death

Geocities was shut down by Yahoo! in April 2009.[3]

Archives

Geocities was archived by the Internet Archive.[4]
