Cheap Web Host for CAP squadron

I hope I don't sound like an advertisement. (I don't make anything from
this.) HostPC has a sale going on until midnight EDT July 24th. Use
coupon code hostingcon and use Paypal, and get 1/2 off any hosting plan.
That makes their lowest price plan $12.50/year. Not much different
than a free service, and there's no ads on the pages.

Yea, there is no way National would ever approve of using an ad-
supported web hosting for CAP (because it constitutes a U.S. gov't
endorsement of the products). There was just a big article in the CAP
magazine about being very careful when working with other non-profits
to avoid giving the impression that CAP endorses other non-profits,
much less ads for for-profits.

I have been happy with 1&1's "Business" package on Linux, which is
normally about $10 a month. You might be happy with their "Beginner" or
"Home" packages which are normally $3 and $4 a month. They often run
sales or specials for the first few months at a reduced rate. This
includes at least one domain registration.

If there is another CAP squadron in your area, perhaps you can go in
together with them to save money. Unless you're putting full-motion HD
video of every flight you take on your Web site, you probably won't go
over the disk space or transfer limits, even with several squadrons on
the site. You could pick a package that lets you register a domain for
each site (like metropolis-cap.com and kleinstadt-cap.com), or register
a more general higher-level site (involving the name of your state or
region) and have subdomains (like metropolis.elbonia-cap.com and
kleinstadt.elbonia-cap.com).

Standard disclaimers apply; I don't get money or other consideration
from any companies mentioned.

One of the members of my CAP squadron has created a squadron web site. Now he is
looking for a cheap web host. Like most squadron we have just a little money in
the treasury.

Will you recommend a good cheap web host?

Check out 1and1.com. I have had great service and depending on what
you want, you can get web services for as low as $3.99 a month.
