Neocities


Neocities is a free web hosting service. Offering 1 GB of storage space and no server-side scripting, the service's expressed goal is to revive the support of "creativity and free expression" provided by GeoCities before its shutdown in the United States of America and Japan in 2009 and 2019, respectively.
Kyle Drake started Neocities in 2013., Neocities reported that it had over 276,700 websites on its server.

History

On May 23, 2013, Kyle Drake posted to his Twitter that he wanted to make a "GeoCities-like" website for the modern web. He stated that this site would be free, have a large file size limit, and would be focused on bringing back the creativity and individuality of the early web.
In protest of the FCC stance on net neutrality, Neocities announced on May 8, 2014 that it would limit the bandwidth speed of the FCC headquarters to early dial-up modem speeds as a stunt. This protest received wide attention and lasted until February 2, 2015.
