Last month WebRing wrote to all active members with a registered Geocities URL because Yahoo! is planning on closing Geocities down soon.

Now WebRing is expanding this appeal to ALL users in an effort to reach as many people as possible, whether they have a Geocities website or not. Even whether you are WebRing members or not.

Thanks to our recently launched Webspace, you can have your website hosted on WebRing. WebRing webspaces are completely free for all WebRing members and no ads from server on WebSpace!

To date WebRing has replicated over 2000 sites, mainly from Geocities, but also sites from Angelfire, Tripod, Fortunecity and several others. If you're one of the 2000+, THANK YOU, and now go tell someone how easy it has been!

 

We encourage anyone with a "free" site - especially Angelfire and Tripod because of their instrusive ads - to consider WebRing's new Webspace. It's FREE, and it's ad free for anyone who creates a webspace or asks us to help replicate from another service.

'Why switch? For starters, Geocities and Lycos are closing down. More importantly than that, WebRing has numerous advantages over other services:

• We've been around for 15 years.
• We're not placing ads on your pages.
• WebRing has a member directory, so your site can gain visibility there. We have plans to expand our directory as well.
• Most important - you gain exposure through the tens of thousands of WebRing communities that have been driving traffic to sites since before most of these services existed.

Our Offer: Would you like our help in replicating your site(s) to your WebRing Webspace? Simply reply to this email and say "Yes, please transfer my site." We'll attempt to automatically replicate your site. In most cases this works well.'

You can read about the transfer process at the WebRing site.

It is fairly easy. I did it.

So join WebRing FREE

and then sign up for FREE WebSpace!

Who should not transfer? If you have your website hosted on your own domain then we recommend you keep it there. If you run cgi-scripts, or have your site hosted on a non-free service that you're happy with then stick with them.
