Building Websites

    Like many people I have been thinking of setting up a website for a long time.   My photographs need a permanent showcase rather than the odd exhibitions I have had over the years.  Well, now I have finally made a start.

Domain Host

    It is not easy choosing a webhost amonst the hundreds available.  Early in 2001,  I was recommended One&One (link is at the top of the page), and I used them to organise my society website, www.Cryomicroscopygroup.org.uk.   Happy with their service, I have used them to set up this website.  I am using the One&One Home package, which in the UK costs, £4.99 per month.  Add VAT to all these prices. This is the cost for the Website hosting.  In addition you have to search for a suitable domain name, then register it.  For the domain registration (and renewal every year) the fee is £8.99.  This is the price for .COM or .ORG domains.   The annual cost for .co.uk or .org.uk is £2.99. 

    With the Home package, we can host more than one website, upto the total size limit of 100 Mb.  That is quite a lot.  My science website is www.sarcomere.org, and the good people at One&One allow me to host it in the same Home package, with no extra charge.   (Sarcomeres found in muscle is what I do my research on, using microscopes and cryo-electron microscopes.)

Software

    I have used Microsoft FrontPage to create this website. 

    I have no hesitation in recommending One&One if you are looking for a Webhost.
