DreamHost Giving Free 2 Years Domain Name and Web Hosting to GeoCities Users

Whoop dee do!!

Yahoo!, which owned GeoCities, has decided to close down GeoCities a free web hosting service provider which was immensely popular during the dot-com bubble era, with FTP and FrontPage support but no ads. But it’s going downhill since Yahoo! acquire it. Currently, all new registrations for new web space on GeoCities has been stopped, and the existing accounts are expected to be shutdown, deactivated and terminated by end of 2009. Visitor will be shown “Sorry, new GeoCities accounts are no longer available.” on GeoCities homepage.

So, to "celebrate" the shutting down of Geocities, Dreamhost is offering a free account for 2 years (usually priced at around $214.80) to 1000 GeoCities refugees.

What You Need To Do:

No strings attached.

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

They Say, "And we promise to never shut down."
