About Neocities
Neocities is a web host for static personal websites. Users can build pages in an HTML editor that runs in the browser, or upload files made with a desktop editor by drag and drop. The site also includes a gallery of Neocities sites, tags that help visitors find sites on related topics, and features for following sites and commenting on them.
The homepage says the service focuses strictly on static hosting and does not put advertising on user sites. It states that Neocities is funded by supporter accounts and donations, and that it will not sell user data for AI training. These are the site's own statements and are not independently verified here.
