On GeoCities PRO, the hosting plan, if i cancel the plan do i also cancel my free domain name?

When you first sign up for GeoCities PRO, you get to pick a free domain name. Now, what I%26#039;m asking is, after the 6 month 50% off discount is used up and I switch to the plan that is NORMALLY 5 bucks a month, does the domain name I chose still stay active or do I need the pro plan to keep it?

Yes, you can expect to lose the domain name, and you can also expect to lose the contents of your site. GeoCities doesn%26#039;t support a downgrade option.



As long as you still have all the files saved, as a backup, on your hard drive (or a CD-ROM, flash drive, etc.), then you will be able to upload them again when you sign up for a new hosting account (such as a free GeoCities site) and get your new address.

The domain name is a part of the plan, so if you cancel the plan it makes sense that the %26#039;free%26#039; domain name (which is actually paid for with a combination of your monthly geocities pro dues and advertising revenue) would also be canceled.
