Host Your Site With the U.S. JCI Senate

The U.S. JCI Senate main website, and the JCI Senate Store, are hosted by a company called HostGator in Houston, TX, and we can offer totally free hosting with amazing features to any U.S.-based JCI Senate organization. If you currently have a site, or want to build one, consider hosting it with us. Buying or maintaining a domain name is up to you, though. The best deals on domain names seem to be at GoDaddy.

With our hosting arrangement, we can offer your organization features which are almost impossible to find with free hosting companies. Although we can't offer the use of Active Server Pages (.asp or .aspx), we can offer the following:

• 99.9% Uptime Guarantee
• Unlimited FTP Accounts
• Unlimited MySQL Databases
• Numerous pre-installed CGI and Perl scripts
• PHP 4 & 5
• Ruby On Rails
• FrontPage Extensions
• SSH (via JCI Senate Webmaster only)
• Python, SSI, and Cron (via JCI Senate Webmaster only)
• Curl, GD, and Image Magick
• Streaming Audio & Video
• Free Module Installation (via JCI Senate Webmaster only)
• Unlimited POP email accounts
• Web Mail
• Unlimited Email Aliasing and Forwarding (via JCI Senate Webmaster only)
• IMAP Support
• SMTP

If that's not enough to keep your head spinning, we don't know what is. All this and more costs the U.S. JCI Senate all of $9.95 a month, so providing free site hosting for our Senate friends is no big deal. Oh, did we mention it's free?

There are a variety of free website building software packages available on the Internet for both Windows and Macintosh computers. thefreecounty.com lists a large number of free HTML editors, site builders, FTP (file transfer protocol) clients, which let you transfer the web pages you've built to your website space on our server, and lots of other nifty tools.

The new 800 gorilla as far as site building software is concerned is KompoZer. It is totally cross-platform and free as a bird. Go to http://kompozer.net/download.php to obtain the version compatible with your computer.

Some other sites you might want to look at are pagebreeze.com (a downloadable site builder for Windows), coreftp.com (a free FTP client for Windows), and FileZilla (a free cross-platform FTP client).
