The bad news: Geocities is finally closing down.

The good news: DreamHost is offering a free two-year plan + domain registration for the first 1000 Geocities users who sign up. From their page:

All you have to do is verify you are an existing GeoCities customer by creating a page on your GeoCities account (or editing an existing page) to have the phrase “I’m off to DreamHost!” on it!

Then when you signup for us, simply put the full url to that page as your “promotional code” and you’ll get a 2 year plan (normally $214.80) free!


Which I just did, so pretty soon the HP gen recs page should be available at http://www.jetamors.com . (Though I shudder to think at how many links must be inactive...) Now I just have to figure out whether there's anything else I want to be doing now that I have a domain and a "real" hosting company. Maybe I could set up an FTP or something? What do people do with websites these days?

I'ma miss geocites. Twas my first real web site.

FTP = GOLD. IT'S LIKE GOD. When I went from the file transfer to FTP I about died. Did it ten billion tomes faster.

I just went into FTP to transfer everything, and it took, like 10 seconds. It was so amazing *_*
