Yahoo! GeoCities Service Announcement
Important notice: GeoCities is closing.
Dear Yahoo! GeoCities customer,
We're writing to let you know that Yahoo! GeoCities, our free web site building
service and community, is closing on *October 26, 2009*.
On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and
you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files.
*What You Need to Do*
If you'd like to move your web site, or save the images and other files you've
posted online, you need to act now by choosing one of the following options:
• *Move your site to Yahoo! Web Hosting. *
We know your files are important to you, and we want to make moving to Web
Hosting as easy and affordable as we can. For a limited time, you can move your
files automatically, take advantage of terrific features like a personalized
domain name and email, even redirect your GeoCities web address to your new
site — all for only *$4.99 a month for a full year*.
• *Download your files to your own computer.*
With your pages and images saved offline, you can re-create your site with any
hosting provider.
To quickly download your published files, visit your GeoCities web site,
right-click on each page, and choose *Save Page As...* from the menu that
appears. Choose a location on your computer to save your files, then click *OK*
or *Save*. Learn more about downloading your files.

*Don't Wait*
Please be aware that after October 26, your GeoCities files will be deleted from
our servers, and /will not be recoverable/. If you'd like to save your files,
you must download them now or move to Yahoo! Web Hosting. If you need
assistance, please visit the help center

We want to thank you for being a GeoCities customer, and hope you continue to
enjoy our other Yahoo! services.
Best regards,
The Yahoo! GeoCities team

Harko | 10 de Julio de 2009 - 02:21 PMYo tenia algunas cosas, pero hace ya tiempo que hice duplicados y los aloje en el servidor de GRN, en mi web.
¿Alguien me puede explicar como pueden ser tan CUTRES de decir que nos descarguemos NUESTROS archivos con un "Save as..."?
¿Porque no me puedo conectar por un simple FTP para descargarme mis archivos con la misma estructura que están?(pueden deshabilitarme la escritura si les da miedito)
PD: Si, se supone que existía ftp.es.geocities.com... pero no hay DNS que la recuerde. Y en ftp.geocities.com me rechazan mi usuario de yahoo.es
Que triste es ver morir Geocities.
Yon | 27 de Julio de 2009 - 06:39 PMPues a mí me hubiese gustado descargarme mi primera web, que todavía sigue ahí activa, sin embargo no hay forma de conectar por ftp. Era ftp.es.geocities.com... pero nada, no hay manera. Y me niego a ir descargando archivo a archivo desde su cutre-web-ftp.
