How do I get a free Home Page in GeoCities?

Anyone can have a home page in GeoCities. Just go to our main homesteading page and complete the application. If you typed in your E-mail address properly, you should receive a return E-mail with your password within a few minutes.

How do I choose a Neighborhood to live in?

Go to our Neighborhood Directory and read through the descriptions of each of our twenty-nine neighborhoods. You're certain to find one that corresponds to your home page theme.

What will my actual URL be?

Every Geocitizen has their own unique URL that you can publish and tell your friends. Your URL will always start with http://www.geocities.com, and will end with your neighborhodd and address number. For example, if your address was 2090 in the Athens Neighborhood, your URL would be as follows:

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2090/

I tried to submit my application but I keep getting error messages

After you hit the submit button at the bottom of the application form, our system will check the database for any problems with the information that you have provided. For instance, if you try to move into an occupied address, or if someone else is using the member name you entered, then you will get an error message explaining the problem. If you get this message, please read it carefully to determine which of your entries did not work. Use the "back" button on your browser to correct the entry and submit your application again. When there are no more problems with your application, you will see the information repeated for you to verify its accuracy. Read it all again (please re-check your E-mail address) and hit the "accept" button at the bottom of the page. You will then see a nice welcome letter with more information about GeoCities. Within a few minutes, you should receive an E-mail with your password and instructions for moving in to your new residence.

How many free Home Pages can I have in GeoCities?

Part of your responsibility as a resident of GeoCities is to keep your home page fresh and exciting. If your original page is kept current, and is consistent with the theme of the neighborhood, you may apply for a second GeoCities address, if and only if you have a second E-mail address. There is no way for our database to assign separate GeoCities addresses to the same E-mail address.
