Hi, Tom et alia:

  I feel that our web pages should be on a 'hired server' rather than on 
a server tied to a residential ISP service, so
that it would not terminate upon the change of a single individual.

  Our web pages could be a folder on an existing local groups web site.

  Currently our web pages are on a 'linode'. A computer 'instance' with 
a high speed connection to the internet.
This instance is very easy to start-up or terminate.
The contract is $5 monthly...can be terminated at the end of a monthly 
billing period.

NameCheap.com is its domain registrar, $14.16/year.

miamivalleymesh.org is registered at a cheaper registrar ($12.83) and 
redirects to miamivalleymesh.com.

That is the 411. ;-)
