Hello RootsChatters,
We are looking to provide free webspace on RootsChat for RootsChatters to place their web sites. We are not quite ready yet, but we are trying to gauge your interest.
This will be open to any registered user on RootsChat.
Our main criteria will be that your site will need to be related to family or local history (or of interest to family or local historians), and that no advertising links are placed on the pages.
The user can be a company, individual, group or society... and you can advertise your own products or services (again related to history) on the pages if you wish.
The format of the webspace address will be something like:
www.rootschat.co.uk/history/mypages
(where the 'mypages' is changed to the title of your website)
Would this be of interest to anybody?
(Please feel free to reply to this message with some idea of what you might use the RootsChat webspace for)

Some questions answered:
Q: Can I have more than just one web page?
Yes, you can build a site with LOTS of pages, we don't have a strict limit on the number of pages so you can build a large website.
Q: Will you put popups on my pages?
No, we will not put popups on any of your pages, nor will we open popups when people leave your web pages.
Q: Will you put any adverts on our pages?
We don't plan to put adverts on any pages. BUT... if we find that 'bandwidth' becomes a problem then we may ask for our adverts relevant to family and local history are shown to cover costs to keep things free.
Q: Will it always stay free then?
Yes
Q: Can you help us set up a web page?
We can put you in touch with volunteers willing to help you if you wish. However, at this stage, because this is a totally free service we cannot offer support. We are however human, and if you ask really nicely then perhaps we can help you. 
Q: We already have a website, but would like to move it over to RootsChat, can you help us?
In most cases yes, that won't be a problem.
Q: What's the catch?
We ask that you mention RootsChat, say that it's really useful (etc..) and put a link to us. 
Q: How 'safe' will our webpages be?
RootsChat is on its very own server in a very secure datacentre. Data is backed up automatically every day to another location, and our 'firewall' is maintained by a team of professionals. (We do however ask that you keep a copy of your own website on your own computer in the event of failure.)
Q: Who has copyright of my web pages?
You do.

I already have my own site, but would like to have my Family history hosted with you, if you don't mind a link from my main site as well.
I am also more than happy to offer help and advise to anyone wishing to build their own pages.

Hi
I already have my site hosted at Rootsweb but be happy to move it to Rootschat providing the limit on page numbers was not restricted. I built my own fro scratch and would be very willing to help others with the building of their own.
I think it will really enhance rootschat, which is already asplendid addition to the genealogy websites around at the moment.
So, Yes, count me in!
Anne

I'd love to be able to put all the info I have collected somewhere but wouldn't know how to begin. It's all on computor already but I really don't have a clue as to how anything could be transferred.
Thank you from one idiot too many probably!
