Remarks
| Ad-free | Your web site is entirely ad free, except you put your own advertisement. |
| Add-ons | Guestbook, counters, stock quotes, your webcam, feedback form, etc. can be added to your site. |
| Data transfer (bandwidth) | Whenever a visitor comes to your site, data is sent from our web servers to your visitor's computer. This data can be composed of web pages, images, movies, sound files, programs, compressed files, or anything else on your site that can be viewed or downloaded by visitors. When all this requested data is added up, then you have your total data transfer. The more visitors you have, the higher a data transfer limit you'll need. You can always buy additional data transfer as your site grows. |
| Disk space for storing files | Your web site consists of text, graphics, sound, or video files that occupy disk space on a server. If your web pages already exist on your computer, you can check the size of your files to help you choose the web package that best meets your storage size needs. You can always buy additional disk space as your site grows. |
| Domain name | A domain name is also called a web address. Like a memorable street address, it can help people find your online. You can register your own name, your company's name, key words to describe your business, or even a short phrase -- whatever will make your web address easy to remember for your friends or customers. Once you've registered your domain name, you can begin to build a public web site at your very own address (e.g., www.mydomain.com) and create a personalized email address (e.g., [email protected]). |
| Personalized domain name | A unique domain name allows people to find you easily online. |
| Your domain name | e.g., www.your-name.com |
| Matching email accounts | e.g., [email protected], [email protected] |
| Matching subdomains | e.g., photos.your-name.com, music.your-name.com |
| Email accounts | Create multiple email accounts for yourself at your own domain name, such as [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. Or create accounts for friends or associates to use at your domain name. |
| Email forwards | Email forwards enable you to have email messages redirected to a specific email account. For example, you can set up the email account [email protected] to forward all messages to your account [email protected]. These forwards can be added or deleted at any time. |

| Email storage | When you receive email, the messages occupy disk space on a server. The more email you get, the more storage space you need. GeoCities packages allot different amounts of email storage space. Packages that include multiple email accounts give you an amount of storage for each account. |
| FTP for putting files on the server | FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It's a convenient, easy-to-use method of sending files across the Internet, and you can use FTP to build and edit your web site. Simply download an FTP client to access your GeoCities web site and load new pages and images. |
| Integration with Yahoo! Mail inbox | Send and receive mail easily from any computer in the world through the Yahoo! Mail web interface. You can still use your own domain name, but you don't have to worry about configuring a new email client if you don't want to. |
| Megabyte | A byte is the smallest unit of data measurement in computers. |
| conversions | 1000
Bytes (B) = 1 Kilobyte (KB) 1000 Kilobytes (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB) 1000 Megabytes (MB) = 1 Gigabyte (GB) |

| One-time setup fee | In addition to a monthly service fee, Basic Plan package has a one-time fee to set up your account. |
| POP and SMTP email access | You can send and receive your [email protected] email from your favorite email program (such as Outlook or Eudora) via the POP and SMTP email protocols. |
| Priority email | If you have a Help query a priority email form sends questions directly to our customer care associates. |
| Remote loading of your files on another website | Remote loading is linking to or accessing your GeoCities account files from a location other than your GeoCities site, such as auction sites. In other words, you can host all of your images on GeoCities then reference these images from any web site. |
| Subdomains | A subdomain is also known as a "third-level" domain and is a great way to create memorable web addresses for various areas of your site. For instance, Yahoo! uses subdomains for its services, such as mail.florwa.com and music.florwa.com. |
| Vacation responders | All your email accounts can be set up to automatically respond to incoming messages. This is a good feature to use if you're on vacation, if you don't check your mail frequently, or if you would like to create an automated response to frequently asked questions, such as pricing or hours of operation. |
