    What happened to your GeoCities site?

     No recommendations, but don't you have a free site/space through your 
ISP?

Yeah: You get what you pay for. Unfortunately.

I had a couple of old logons and when I started to run out of space on the main
one (15 Meg) I reactivated one of the old ones and deleted everything to start
afresh. It looks like there was only one site and the other logons are aliases.
As for free space through AOL, they shut it down last month. That does not bode
well for them, I think. 
I will probably change my ISP soon but RL is unsettled so I want to wait a bit
before paying for anything.

Sometimes you can squeeze a little bit of energy out of the vacuum :)

Marketing, I think.
Some are hosting very popular and *sometimes* appreciated.

Reason found. I did not know that there are two (for me) geocities sites.
http://www.geocities.com/ and http://uk.geocities.com/
Well, well, well and I found two old animations from 2003 and 2004 that I
thought I had lost. One of them a game of bagatelle using Rune's Particle
system.
I think that I will consolidate everything when I find a new site.
Phew!

	What do you plan to host?

	Google App Engine may serve you...

	If you have little requirements, consider Nearly Free Speech. They're
*very* cheap if you don't really do much with it, and since they are
technically getting paid for it, they guarantee good service. I've heard
it recommended very often.

	From their FAQ:

"""How much does the average site really cost?

During the month of July, 2008:

    * 27% of our members incurred no hosting costs at all.
    * 53% of our members incurred hosting costs totaling between $0.01
and $1.00, inclusive.
    * The bandwidth cost of the average site was $0.10.
    * The storage cost of the average site was $0.29.
    * The average member had 2.2 web sites hosted with us. (But none of
our members are average!)

("Hosting costs" include charges for bandwidth, storage, and MySQL.)

For the bandwidth and storage averages, the top 1% consume a very
disproportionate amount; if they are excluded, the average falls to
$0.02 for bandwidth and $0.09 for storage."""

	Bandwidth is relatively cheap with them, but storage isn't. However, if
you want more storage, I suggest using NearlyFreeSpeech in conjunction
with Amazon S3, which provides gobs of really cheap space.
