GeoCities to Charge for New Services

Yahoo Inc.’s GeoCities unit, the biggest service that lets consumers set up their own Internet sites, said it will charge users for two new expanded versions of its free basic service.

Yahoo will charge $8.95 a month for GeoCities Pro, $11.95 a month for GeoCities Webmaster and a $15 setup fee for both. GeoCities Pro and Webmaster provide personalized domain names, multiple e-mail accounts and more data storage than the basic service, a spokesman said.

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo fell 69 cents to $13.42 on Nasdaq.
