i am inexperienced in starting a website. i have a geocities site. it is closing down so i started bravehost. i'm not sure how to redirect from my old site to bravehost.

i went on bravehost and selected
domain transfer and it said it could not do it.

i went to create an external domain, it says i need to chasnge nameserver to bravehost from my other website. what does all this mean?

With geocities it is unlikely that you owned the domain as it was probably a sub-domain. Therefore you won't be able to move this domain to Bravehost. To confirm this tell us the url of the site that you want to move from Geocities.

my site was www.geocities.com/savethestrand.

so what you are saying is that there is no way to redirect someone to my new website.

Right.

You would need access to the web server to create this redirect.

You cannot do what you want to do. The domain in this case is www.geocities.com and you do not own it and so cannot move it to any other host. You will need to purchase a domain name and then upload your content there BUT your old visitors won't be re-directed to it. Get it done quickly and change your Geocities page to one telling people of your new domain name then you won't lose to many regulars.
