BBC: Yahoo paid $3.57bn for GeoCities in 1999. It is to close its personal web hosting site GeoCities later this year.
In a statement, the firm says it will no longer be accepting new customers and will focus on helping "customers build new relationships online".
Yahoo bought GeoCities for $3.57bn at the height of the dotcom boom in 1999.
