I was one of the many who hosted their first website on GeoCities. The site launched in late 1994, but Yahoo didn’t acquire it until 1999. I used my account as a tertiary online storage space until Yahoo shut down the servers in 2009. But I was also a frazzled college student and didn’t think to back up what was on the account then. If you believe you might have a GeoCities site floating out there, there’s an archive available at GeoCities.wswhere you can request access to your account.
