web hosting
nearlyfreespeech.net
- We will use this for a class account.
- An interesting, somewhat unusual service provider - discuss ups and downs.
- Register marlbororocks.net there during class.
- You should set up an account at nearlyfreespeech.net
- ... which I will connect with marlborororocks.net.
others I'm currently using
- namecheap.com - virtual private server
- linode.com - domain registration
If you'd like to set up your own account at
a more traditional web hosting (e.g. geekstorage.com, justhost.com, etc), go ahead.
(Typical fees these days advertise $4/mo + free domain registration ...
but only if you pay 'em at least a year up front.)
