As you consider your options for moving your GeoCities website, you have freedom of choice.

While you can’t choose if you will move that doesn’t mean you can’t choose where you will move.

Will you choose free hosting again after what happened to Geocities?

If the founding fathers were choosing I suspect that they would choose a paid hosting account. In their own words here’s why:

A fondness for power is implanted, in most men, and it is natural to abuse it, when acquired.

Alexander Hamilton
The Farmer Refuted, February 23, 1775

Allow no tyrant to attach letters to your fine name or unfairly tarriff your ad money! Paid Hosting allows registrtration of your own domain name.

Would Hamilton choose this? http://www.geocities.com/Hamilton33/or this? www.alexanderhamilton.com

Let the traffic you generate with your marketing efforts help visitors find you, not your free-hosting provider. If you display ads on your site you keep the ad revenue.

But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

John Adams
letter to Abigail Adams, July 17, 1775

Never give up the rights to your content. Control your site content with FTP access and File Manager access to hosting account. It is your content, a hosting account can provide essential backup protection. Liberty to transfer your content to another host should never be lost.

Without Freedom of Thought there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as Public Liberty, without Freedom of Speech.

Benjamin Franklin
writing as Silence Dogood, No. 8, July 9, 1722

If Franklin were writing Poor Richard’s Almanac today, he’d probably be using WordPress instead of lead type. You will have access to web tools to build your website. Add Blogs, Shopping Carts, Forums, or GuestBooks without restrictions!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Thomas Paine
Dissertation on First Principles of Government, December 23, 1791

Stay secure . Letting someone else insert banner code on your site can expose you to security issues.

Finally, the words of George Washington encouraging your to own your website……….

A people… who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.

George Washington
letter to Benjamin Harrison, October 10, 1784
