Agents using Geocities seek alternative
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Insurance Agencies with Geocities Pages seek alternative
Yahoo Inc. has scheduled today as the last day for its free web page hosting service.
GeoCities was a service that allowed anyone to build a custom Web page for free
in exchange for segments of that page handling advertisements. In the early part of this decade
GeoCities was nearly synonymous with an individual’s web presence. Much in the way that
Facebook or Twitter are today. Naturally, many insurance agents took advantage of this free service to build custom agency web pages.
For the independent insurance agent it was an easy way to gain a web presence without the
hassle of maintaining its own web infrastructure. With the change to GeoCities agencies that once
used this service will have to explore new alternatives. Many free hosting services are including the popular
Google pages service now used by many people seeking to build a web page. Several pay services also exist for
insurance agents including one from Quotepro.
