There are several services that offer free web space for genealogy
pages. I don't use any of them, so I can't recommend one over the
other, but I can point you to a few:
| In February the Project was moved to
a new web hosting company so the National Database could be placed
in MS SQL 2000. One of the side benefits of the new service is the
ability to provide sub-domains and email addresses for the State
and County Coordinators. I am unable to provide these services for
free at this time, but the charge for them is very small. The
details are as follows |
 | Server Space
 | You can have a domain name that is specific to your state or
county. As an example, the URL for the PA State Page would be
http://Pennsylvania.GeoGen.Org. The URL for Dauphin County, PA
would be
http://PADauphin.GeoGen.Org. |
 | You will have total control over that space |
 | There is no set limit on how much space you can use, but it is
restricted to US GeoGen Project related materials. |
 | You can have either FrontPage 2002 access (you don't need
FP2002, any version works) or FTP access. |
|
 | Email Account
 | You can also have a US GeoGen Project ™
email account. As an example, the PA State Coordinator email
address would be
Pennsylvania@GeoGen.Org and the Dauphin County, PA County
Coordinator email would be
PADauphin@geogen.org |
 | You have full POP3 mailbox capabilities |
 | State Coordinators can have a full web interface for managing your mailboxes
plus LDAP access. |
 | If you are a multi-county coordinator, you can have multiple
email addresses with one account.
 | The format will be a bit different. Your main account would
be something like bob@geogen.org.
Your other accounts would be like
Bob.PADauphi@GeoGen.Org, etc. The sub mailbox has a
restriction to 8 characters. Your main mail box has to be at
least 3 characters. You only need one email account even if you
host a state and several counties. |
|
|
 | The cost for all this is as follows
 | Sub-domain and email account - $2.00 per month
 | Annual $24 or semi-annual $12 |
|
 | Email account only - $1.50 per month
 | Annual $18 or semi-annual $9 |
|
 | Sub-domain only - $1.75 per month
 | Annual $21 or semi-annual $11 |
|
 | Monthly billings are not available, only Annual Plan or
Semi-Annual Plan |
|
 | Payments can only be made through PayPal. |
 | For information and to make a request, email
National@geogen.org |
 | Accounts will not have any restrictions as to attachments or
number of messages, but I reserve the right to place a restriction
on accounts holders that are being abusive. ABSOLUTELY NO
SPAMMING will be permitted using these accounts. |
 | UserID (Main Account ID)
User Identification (UserID) may be from 3 to 30 characters long and
must consist of alphanumeric, '_','-' and periods. |
 | Password
Passwords may be from 4 to 30 characters long and cannot contain
spaces. |
