# GemCities – Free Gemini:// capsule hosting > Source: > Published: 2026-06-29 23:49:15+00:00 Publish on the Gemini small web in minutes. No server knowledge required. Just sign up and write. Pick a username. Your capsule will be at `username.gemcities.com` on the Gemini network. Use the web editor to write gemtext files. A live preview shows exactly how your capsule will look. Save your file. It's live instantly. No deploys, no configuration, no waiting. Your capsule lives at `gemini://username.gemcities.com` on the Gemini network. The Gemini protocol is separate from the web… you need a Gemini client to visit it. Popular clients: [Lagrange](https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/) (desktop, polished UI), [Amfora](https://gitlab.com/tslocum/amfora) (terminal), and [Elaho](https://elaho.app) (iOS). A full list is at [geminiprotocol.net/clients.html](https://geminiprotocol.net/clients.html). Once you have a client, paste your capsule URL and you're in Geminispace. Gemcities is free, donation-supported hosting for the Gemini protocol, a small, quiet corner of the internet that strips away the noise of the modern web. There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no paywalls, and no plans to add any. Every capsule gets 50 MB of storage, which is generous for gemtext files. Think of it as Geocities for Gemini… simple publishing infrastructure, run ethically, kept simple on purpose. There's a Gemini-native forum at `gemini://forum.gemcities.com` where capsule authors can introduce themselves, share their work, ask questions, and talk. The forum lives entirely inside Geminispace — no web interface, no accounts tied to this site. Open it in your Gemini client and register with a client certificate to post. Reading is open to anyone.
