Is there an easy way to move my site from Geocities to another web hosting service?

Easier than saving each page individually to my computer and the uploading them to the new location? Is there any freeware or free website that does this?

    If you used Geocities “Page Wizard” or Pagebuilder application to make your page, don’t expect to be able to perfectly duplicate your site somewhere else. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you view it), other hosts don’t have the Page Wizard and the Pagebuilder application. However, you can come pretty close by copying the source. To do that, load your page and click “File”, “Save As” and save it as a complete Web page, not just the HTML. To see how it looks, open the file you just saved in your browser. The nice thing about HTML is you can edit it yourself and get your page looking the way you want it to. This might be a good time to learn something about writing and editing HTML, CSS, or XML so you can be in charge of your own site.

    If you wrote your own files and uploaded them via Geocities’ FTP, it’s easier for you. Obviously, just reverse the process, and when you find a new host, upload the files there.

    Hi there, you could sign up for a free account and copy and paste your coding, here`s I`d recommend this one:
    http://www.webastarts.com/?aff=Augusto
    Here you can work with templates and use the HTML. and if you like it you can upgrade later on.

    Here`s my very basic page: http://s1.webstarts.com/MyIdeas/
    give it a try just copy and paste.
    Good luck.
