Yahoo has sent me a mail saying that they plan to shut down their free webhosting service, Geocities by the end of this year. This has come us a big shock to millions of users who have built their web presence over the years. And that includes me. I don't think any of the other free providers can match the brand of Yahoo. I've had very great experience with Yahoo all through and not sure if any of the free providers can come anywhere close to their credibility. But, I don't have a choice and have to look at other options.
While some have moved to blogs in the past years, I don't think blogs can replace websites especially when the content is not very time specific. I've to look at some paid options and see which comes closer.
I also have another issue in terms of the links to my website. There are hundreds of sites that link to my website and I need to contact each and everyone of them to change their pointers to my new website. And I also need to do the same rigour with the search engines. It's not going to be easy. Any ideas are welcome!
