Need some help for a Website
I have recently been nominated as president of our local snowmobile club and it is one of the bigger and more popular ones in Washington. The problem we have is that our web site has gone away due to the fact our web hoster is no longer. I am looking for advice and guidance on how to get our website up and running. I need to keep costs at a minimum because we are a no-profit organization. we only have money that we earn from various fund raisers, club dues and donations. Keep in mind I know pretty much nothing about the web site processes involved here. Let's hear what you got. Chris- Polar Bear Snowmobile Club

This really depends. If your previous web site was simple, (ie just a collection of HTML pages) then you have ultimate flexibility on finding someone to host it. If your previous web site had dynamica pages (ie asp, php, jsp, etc) then your options will be slightly reduced depending on what kind of code was in the web site. There are plenty of hosting providers out there that will host your web site for very small money (ie $5 - $10 a month). Depending what is in your web site might require higher level of servies (ie database support).
We'll need more information about the web site, how big it is, what it was written in, etc to really recommend something more.

You can create dynamic content using HTML and Javascript...but that's getting sorta hard and confusing.
Check with your local university for a computer club, they usually offer cheeaaaap hosting and a mailing list. They'll even help you with the site and setting everything up. U of Dub has a great CS Dept., I'm sure they have a club.

I used Microsoft FrontPage to create it. FrontPage is a very easy program to learn and you can make anything from simple websites to pretty flashy ones. It is “what you see is what you get” (wysiwyg) software that produces the html code on a separate page of the program. Which is just a simple way of saying you don’t have to know html to use this program.
I use Ipowerweb to host my site. I have 5 gigs of storage space and 40 gigs of traffic a month. I pay $95 a year for the hosting fee and domain name. Their customer service is also very good. You actually get to talk to a real person when you call and not a machine.
If I can answer any questions please don’t hesitate to P.M. me.

Here is a screen shot of some of the statistics of the site.
It will track usage from years, months, days, hours, even minutes. If you notice at the bottom of the picture, the “visitors domains/countries (top 10)”, this is where I can find out all of the different IP’s that have visited the website. If I click on the “full list” it will show everyone that has visited the website since it has been around. On down from there I can find out the usage for each individual page and portion (or picture) of that page.
This is another reason I like the hosting company that I use. All of them may do that though.

Microsoft Frontpage produces proprietary code that doesn't display properly on all browsers.
My wife's company ( www.webyodel.com ) does one free site for a non-profit every year. She's already done one this year but if you want to apply for next year let me know.
