With great sadness, one of the original hosting services of the web is shutting down tomorrow due to internal Yahoo! budget cuts.

Until the cutoff, you are free to download your site onto your computer. All data will be deleted after the cutoff, though.

The Archive Team is attempting to save as many pages as they can from Geocities before the lights go out on the service.

Mashable has a great article on this event: http://mashable.com/2009/10/25/geocities-closes-2/

XKCD has also altered their site to emulate a… badly well designed Geocities website (It nearly froze Firefox): http://xkcd.com/

1c may not sound like much, but when you have a couple thousand to hundred thousand people doing it, it adds up fast.
