Rescue Divers
When GeoCities was launched in 1994, having a website was not as common nor as easy as it is today. Since then, millions have created websites that showcased their community, shared information about their businesses and displayed their creative endeavors. And now, Yahoo! is shutting these free sites down at the end of the year. Is there anything anyone can do? Enter FreeHostingRescue.
FreeHostingRescue is a blog that tries to save free hosting users from going under. It’s fairly new, but it has gained a good traction and attention over the last few weeks. Although not specifically intended for GeoCities users, it’s nice to have people that care. They have been showcasing GeoCities websites and give their owners a chance to purchase a hosting account for $1 for a year, and they are currently running a Twitter contest so more people will get the same chance to purchase $1 hosting for a year. To enter is simple:
- Tweet the FreeHostingRescue contest information on Twitter :
RT @FreeHostRescue is giving away 1 year of hosting for $1 to help those abandoned by free hosting. See Details http://tr.im/mtC4 - Follow them on Twitter (so they can DM you if you win) OR Leave a comment on their post (so they can contact you if you are the winner of the contest)
With Yahoo! shutting down GeoCities, it’s nice to have a blog like FreeHostingRescue to help people move their free websites over to affordable paid ones.
