Static Random Access Memory - Fred Atkinson wrote in messagenews:telecom23.221.13@telecom-digest.org: Some time back, I sent you an email asking for another link on the telecom-digest.org site. I never saw it up there. Did you ever see it? It's for ham radio operators, but it's IT related. And there are a good number of hams in the IT/telecom community. The name of the article is Your Own Ham Domain and the URL is (on my ham domain site, appropriately enough): http://www.wb4aej.com/hamdomainPat,Fred's basically saying that ham operators can get their call sign as adomain name. Since I'm a ham, I'll mention a couple of things hams (oranybody, for that matter) can do.1. Use Godaddy: they're charging $7.95 a year for new domain right now. Ifanyone knows a better price, please pass it along. http://www.godaddy.com/.2. You can put your web site on your own server if you have dsl orcable (always on) connections. You'll need a "dynamic" dns likehttp://www.dyndns.org/, but that's easy to set up. You can either paythe dns provider to handle your domain (dyndns is about $25/year), orGodaddy will forward it for you, free, and you can get the Javascriptfrom Fred's site to show it as the destination when people clickin. Just be sure you know what you're doing, because it means keepinga computer on 27/7/365, and keeping up with patches too. On the plusside, you can assign yourself any email address you want, and thendelete it if it gets spam; this is great for those places that makeyou supply an email address when you register, because you can turnone on, get the serial number, and then never be annoyed by themagain.3. The ampr.org domain, which is the 44.0.0.0 network, is the ham's"real" home, since it's for AMateur Packet Radio. Any ham can get afree domain name that looks like http://w1aw.ampr.org/, and if you asknicely, they'll even put in an MX record so that email coming from theInternet is redirected to your regular account at AOL or wherever, soyou can get email addressed to, e.g., w1aw@w1aw.ampr.org. Of course,ampr.org is mostly for doing IP over AX.25, but they're not hard assedabout it.4. It's usually better to host your site on your ISP's computers,since they do all the backups and maintenance for you. That way, youget the best of all worlds. Most ISP's provide at least 5 MB of spaceas part of your basic package, and that's more than enough for asimple site, and you probably have an extra email address from yourISP anyway, unless your kids already took them.HTH.William Warren(Filter the noise out of my address for direct replies)
