Do-It-Yourself
The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Hosting Option
This option was created to emulate the current mechanism clubs have for maintaining their sites when AVA was hosting. Now, get the same capability for a lot less coin. NO, not the same. We actually do it better. We fully support html5, php, and mysql. For your coding pleasure. :-)
Essentially, you do all the work of building and maintaining the web site on your local system.
I-Do-It
The I-Do-It (IDI) Hosting Option
You know you should have a web site. But you really have no idea where to begin. When the AVA was hosting web sites, for $60 per year, it was all greek to you. When you looked into actually doing it yourself, it was so expensive and confusing.
Now there is another option. For a mere $20 per year, the new hosting of AVA clubs by the Woodland Wanderers means you can visualize it and we will put it together and maintain your web
Your Domain
Your Domain
As another alternative, you can go to one of the registrars (such as GoDaddy.com) and register your club as a domain name. We will host your domain on our servers using either our DIY or IDI hosting plan. The only difference is your URL will be your domain instead of a directory off our domain. For example, the Woodland Wanderers without a separate domain would have the URL of http://AVAClubs.org/woodlandwanderers, and with our own domain name it will be http://woodlandwanderers.org. Otherwise everything else is the same. The cost of having your own domain name is usually less than $20 per year. That would be in addition to the cost of the hosting plan you have chosen.

If you have never had a club web page, now is the time to consider it. The cost is very reasonable, and the exposure is great. Help yourself get the word out about your upcoming events, and spread the joy of being a volksmarcher with a much wider audience.

Robert A. Heinlein Quotable Quotes
How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven.
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
There is no such thing as 'just a cat'.
Cats, like butterflies, need no excuse.
Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.
