Neocities is a commercial web hosting service for static pages. It offers 1 GB of storage space for free sites and no server-side scripting for both paid and free subscriptions, the service's expressed goal is to revive the support of free web hosting of the now-defunct GeoCities. Neocities started in 2013.[1]

History

Neocities was created by its founder Kyle Drake on May 23, 2013 and launched on June 28, 2013, offering 10 megabytes of file storage for every user.[2] It initially served as an archive for sites previously hosted on GeoCities before the latter's shutdown.[3]

On May 8, 2014, Neocities announced that it would limit the bandwidth speed of the FCC headquarters to early dial-up modem speeds as a protest against FCC's stance on net neutrality.[4][5] This protest received wide attention[6][7][8][9][10][11] and lasted until February 2, 2015.[12]

As of currently, Neocities allows 1 GB of storage to free users, and 50 GB of storage to "supporters".

Usage

Neocities allows users to create their own websites using programming languages such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. The tool comes with a built-in debugger for the languages listed previously. It also allows you to use other languages as well, but it will not check your errors.

Neocities has 2 options for users to store their data. A free plan, which has 1 gigabyte of data storage and slower transfer speeds, and a paid plan, which allows 50 gigabytes of storage and faster transfer speeds. The paid plan costs $5.00 per month, and funds go to server expenses.
