GeoCities use to be great, at present its just average.
Not much to say negative about them, however not much to say positive, however the negative things, attempting to contact them for customer support issues was dificult, I think the problem is they started off great, built a good reputation then it fell apart. I can honestly say the downtime was minimal though and the speed seemed decent though, so again I would rate them as average and if you looking for just a average web host then geocities mite be for you. |

Can't upload on other sites
I joined Geocities to host pictures and video files. I noticed you couldn't link the Geo files onto other sites without the link dying.
I think that after too many clicks, the site would show some sort of error.
I was a little dissapointed, had to change sites to upload my photos. |

Not so fast. Low storage...but its free
If you want a free web host and you don't care about quality, this is the host for you. it's pretty slow and theres low storage. The only plus side is the templates and simple tools to design. |

Fair Host But not recommended.
Geocities has made a name for itself as a web host for new people who wish to make websites.
Overall I wouldn't recommend Geocities as a web host, I feel you can definately find a better and more reliable host.
The server speed wasn't too flash, and some of the pricing could of been better aswell.
The support and uptime were good also, but from a whole package point of view Geocities doesnt match up to other hosts. |

Reliable, but not worthwhile
Geocities is another webhosting service for the new kids on the block. It has a nifty website builder, which can help you build a very basic, but functioning website. The interface of the whole thing is nicely laid out, and easy to navigate. Uploading files via the file manager is a snap, and accounts don't get deleted for inactivity.
However, if you want anything beyond a simple page written in HTML, you need to go somewhere else. Geocities does not offer you enough space to host anything large (15MB for storage I believe), and they don't support PHP, cgi-bin, FTP, or anything advanced like that.
If you're new, then give it a try. Otherwise, steer clear of it. |

Slow Servers
Server Uptime- Server had never once had any downtime that i can recall.
Customer Support- Customer support was great they answered all my questions and/or concerns.
Server Speed- The servers are very slow loading servers even with very low end graphical websites.
Price Value- For the packages they offered, the price was not a good price at all. I have seen hosts that have offered much more space, traffic, and features/support than Geocities had. |
