New website domain name

Hi all ndcua members,

Great news! Due to yahoo increasing their webhost costs unsatisfactorily in my view (we started at a monthly $3.75 then currently at $4.75 to next month $6.75) - all in the space of some 6 months they have been given the flick.

Why is that great news? Well I mentioned in my annual report I would have a closer look at the setup we have had for so long and lo and behold I've found a free webhost that does not use advertisements. (www.110mb.com).

So for $10 per year we can have a domain name and be able to move around our website and not have to tell anyone we have moved. Compare it to moving house and you can take your home phone number with you.

So our website is now simply www.ndcua.com and that means our monthly website costs are down to 83c per month instead of the above increasing ones.

What that means is www.geocities.com/ndcua is gone forever. So we have had to get a new phone number this one time only - so we have to let those who need to know in due course.

Don't worry because there is a redirect for those who forget or who have old records. If you use the not as useful as Firefox -Internet Explorer to browse the old address then most likely ads will pop up on the side. (Not so with Firefox).

Our web address is www.ndcua.com as mentioned above so use that and no ads will appear in Internet Explorer.

I'd certainly recommend ditching Internet Explorer and using Firefox as it is much much better.
