Your personal web pages,
once they are created, will need a place on the internet to be
stored, ready for viewing. There are many companies providing
this 'hosting' service for free. Your own service provider, if
indeed you're connected, no doubt offers 5Mb free disc space
for your own site.
We can upload your pages
anywhere you tell us to, but if you have no preference, your
site will be hosted by Prohosting.com, a company in the
US. It is one of the few to offer free hosting without ugly promotional
banners at the top of the page. To get around the complicated
URL you will wind up with (http://free.prohosting.com/~your_name.index.html)
we will set up a redirection URL, like the one this site uses.
It will override the actual URL, making your site more personally
yours.
This site is hosted by
prohosting.com. Even though we registered 'YourMusicontheWeb.com',
we chose to load this site up here so you could see exactly what
you're getting. We use the redirection URL (listen.to/web-music)*
which will be your way around a cumbersome address. It is yet
another free service, the trade off being the small pop up window
you may have noticed when you arrived here.
The option of registering
your own domain name is also available to you if you don't mind
spending the money, $35 US per year payable to Internic. Hosting
at Prohosting.com ceases to be a free service if you choose this
option, but there are other hosting companies who do offer free
domain hosting (with banners). We can arrange it all for you
if you wish. It will take up to two weeks, however, to get you
up and running.

*There are
a few options to choose from:
go.to/yourname
come.to/yourname
travel.to/yourname
welcome.to/yourname
move.to/yourname
listen.to/yourname
If you have
a common name, you may find your first choice already taken,
so be prepared for second or third choice. Sometimes adding a
hyphen is all that's required.
