Web Hosting Cooperative What is a Web Hosting Cooperative? It an alternative to commercial sites who charge exorbitant service fees. We are a group of shoe-string budget organisations who need an affordable portal unto the Internet! After our Internet service provider (ISP) sold to a bigger company, I became Web master of a site that could no longer pay the fees the big company began charging. I found the solution! To help my organisation, I went out on a limb and bought a yearly block of server space and bandwidth. This is it: www.jtjohnston.net. I now lease blocks of bandwidth and cooperatively share it the cost between other groups, retaining a small profit margin for operating expenses. Inexpensive Web Hosting? What's the deal? Simple really. Commercial Web hosting costs too much money. Members of this cooperative have low bandwidth needs and shoe-string budgets. Thus we have banded together to survive!.

Maybe you want your own Web site ... but you just cannot do the technology thing?

Let me demonstrate you how easily you can edit and publish your own Web site: Visit this web page. I have built-in editors that look a lot like your favourite MS-Word program. So all you have to do is (1) choose a design, (2) type and format your text and (3) add an image or three.

I host Web site, Wikis, online calendars, almost anyything you can come up with. I'll install it for you, show you how it works and train you how to use it.

I have a senior citizen friend with very limited Internet skills and who runs http://www.royalarchmasonsofquebec.ca/. If I canshow him success, I can show you success!

What do I get out of this?

All my clients pay a one-time, yearly membership fee of $45 per year, payable on June 1st. The only extra is bandwidth - if your site becomes wildly popular. Bandwidth is cheap, and I can quote you a cheap price for that!

You don't have to be a teacher, either. Most of my clients are non-for-profit organisations.

So ... what do I get out of your membership in this cooperative? Experience and a source of research funding! I'm a college professor and www.jtjohnston.net is my research project. Your membership in this cooperative funds my professional research in computer assisted language learning. What I learn from you I reinvest into my professional, teachers' Web site: www.jtjohnston.ca. If I spend one hour or 50 hours helping you get going, it is on my dime. My goal is to offer low-cost services and study how you grow.
