nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
don't go to Geocities!!! (unless you're gonna go with a subscription account that is)
they shut down your site if you have too many people looking at it! They severely limit the bandwith and transfer of data from your site. If too many people are on at one time, they pull the plug, if too many people log in over a month, they pull the plug.
It really gets up my nose, but I suppose it's free and they can do as they like.
This is the main reason I'm moving from geocities and buying my own domain name and webspace...
There may be some other web hosting companies out there. I believe tripod are the same deal as geocities though.
