You could enter the terms "domain" "hosting" and "free" into your favourite search engine to pull up any number of free or low-cost places to park your domain name. > Also, since I will be setting this up, do you all have opinions about > the usefulness of a website to an already-established community?

I find the Greyrock Commons website quite useful on occasion; the internally-accessible portion contains everything from meeting minutes and some group reports to the video lending library list. More useful on a daily basis are email and the mailing lists: two major ones (one for community business and one for general-interest chatting), and 10 or so more specialized ones. The web site, email, and lists are maintained on our own server, by the inestimable Steve Bayless. Most households have a greyrock.org address and access to the internet via our LAN and a high proportion also use them, but important information is also posted on the bulletin board (often it's a printout of the email). We did experiment with a calendar, but that never really flew. -- /\ Willie Schreurs /\ //\\ <Willie [at] Greyrock.org>(H) <schreurs [at] lamar.colostate.edu>(W) //\\ ///\\\ Greyrock Commons, Fort Collins, CO ///\\\
