  8. WorldWildWeb was a website that was first came into the known in October 2017 on the HalloweenJam website. The site was a webhost for people to use rather than Neocities, but saying that, the site did link Neocities and say on the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170904064906/http://wild.webs.vc/faq.htm">Frequently Asked Questions part of the site</a> that you should try "both webhosts and see which suits you".

  10. Unlike Neocities you didn't need to become a supporter of the host to upload ZIP files and there were no filetype restrictions, along with this you could create unlimited websites.

  12. Sometime around late October 2017, the website went offline. Sadly, the website only had two a few archives made of it via <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170904064156/http://wild.webs.vc/index.html">The Internet Archive</a>.

  14. In February 2018, OwlMan posted this on their profile, asking about the webhost;

  17. <font color="ff0080">OwlMan: Anyone have any idea what happened/what was WorldWildWeb ([http://wild.webs.vc/ http://wild.webs.vc/])?</font color>
  18. <p>
  19. <font color="0000ff">FloppyJay: I was the creator. I figured out a way to set up a server from an old, seemingly useless computer, set up port forwarding and built a very small 'anarchist's webhost' using php. It was named WorldWildWeb because I barely put any limitation on there as an advantage over neocities, besides a 30mb upload limit. The project was very hastily thrown together, essentially as a proof of concept. It needed a lot more work.</font color>

  21. <font color="0000ff">FloppyJay: I saw the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lemmy-02.jpg Motorhead picture] you uploaded iirc</font color>
  22. <p>
  23. <font color="ff0080">OwlMan: So will it ever come back? Or is it now lost to time? Also Lemmy bless</font color>
  24. <p>
  25. <font color="0000ff">FloppyJay: When I have an overage of freetime, it just might return.</font color>
  26. <p>
  27. <font color="B200FF">The Fun Zone: I saw it disappeared too. I had intended on making a very small private website on it and just updating it from time to time. Floppyjay I think it would be fantastic if you brought it back, there was a magic to that service that Neocities just cannot replace</font color>

  29. <font color="1C6989">joppiesaus: Whoa! I missed this entirely! It seems pretty cool and awesome!(and also dangerous lol) awesome stuff</font color>
