AOL Announces End of Web hosting for Members' Websites

AOL has discontinued web hosting support for members using its Hometown service. This means that your website is no longer accessible by other members, or by people surfing the world wide web. In essence, AOL has "turned off" AOL Hometown.

What does this mean?

Your website is no longer be viewable by members or web surfers. If you blog, post pictures, or have a website for your business, it will be "gone." The website has been deleted.

To clarify one issue, AOL e-mail services are not effected. So, while your website may be gone, you will still be able to send and receive AOL e-mail as usual.

GeoCities is closed

GeoCities is now part of Yahoo. Yahoo offers build-it-yourself web hosting payable by the month.
