I cannot have any kinds of ads flying around. This is strictly
non-personal... professional society type stuff.
I'm trying to decide whether to get with the 5GB or the 100 GB option. The
webing ought to be simple stuff with a frame on the left of a main page.
html pages will like off the main page and the frame...where will be some
graphics on the main page and some PDF files to download. I can't see how
it would take more than 5GB.
Oh. the page will like to another site for registration and uploading, etc.
phone support is down right now for maintenance...so I have to wait a bit to
ask questions.

Just register the domain for the time you want to keep it, and then use
the free services... from what you write I don't think you are going to
need anything else. You will be able to create a premium email address
that you can pop if you want, or use their email web interface. You will
get a 5GB site with a small banner add at the top. You will be able to
create web pages or use ftp to upload and download. Of course, you will
have to activate this after you have the domain name. It is a confusing
site so call them 24/7 if you get lost.
They nailed me about storing zip file backups on the site, so if you do
that name them something else like mpg.
Pay 3 bucks a month for hosting 5GB if you need lots of email addresses or
you don't like the add. Godaddy is in your face trying to sell you stuff,
but just ignore it and get what you need now You can always go back and
get more without losing any savings. And there are constant deals and
savings.

however, I don't see who this privacy thing buys my anything real. my
addresses ae already on the web and will be on this site.
I'm wondering if I should buy the hosting feature, though. How much
space, windows/linux, data transfer....don't really know about all that.
The site is a one-off kind of thing...and well disappear after two years.
Not selling anything...mainly for information...don't want to over spend
for it, though.
I strongly recommend using your registrar's WHOIS privacy unless the
domain
is actually owned by a commercial entity. Unfortunately, the operator of
the
.org gTLD does not allow it. You would have to use some other gTLD (like
.com or .net) to enable that feature. You can certainly use a throwaway
web
address to combat e-mail SPAM...

No, not trying to hide. My e-mail will be on the website anyway. I
just
don't want any *extra* spam because of this. My emails are already on
the
web anyhow.
Thanks.
