neocities

The neocities tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Neocities web hosting platform, which provides free static site hosting for independent and creative web projects. Recent content focuses on a major incident in January 2026 when Microsoft's Bing search engine deindexed approximately 1.5 million Neocities sites, removing them from search results and affecting discoverability. The tag includes analysis of the deindexing event, its impact on the indie web community, and responses from both Neocities and Microsoft. Topics also touch on broader issues of search engine dependency, web hosting policies, and the challenges faced by small-scale web publishers. This tag is relevant for users interested in web hosting, search engine optimization, digital rights, and the indie web ecosystem.
