OK. My sites are willed to respective States. However, I don’t ever recall giving out passwords, etc. so someone else can get to it. I doubt very much there is a process for that in ND.

My issue is not that the banner is there; gave up on that a long time ago. My concern is that on the 1st, they added a search box for their ancestry.com site.

I can provide space for anyone who wants it - free. No ads, no restrictions. Your URL would be http://theusgenweb.org/mn/(your county here) For example, my Los Angeles County site is there: http://theusgenweb.org/ca/losangeles/ On 4/2/2015 11:19 AM, Kathy Hines via wrote: > If you select a new hosting place in the next couple of days, please let me know which one you picked and why.

It now contains a search box for ancestry. Personally I think this will hurt as there are many people who don’t like ancestry.com, they charge too much, etc. It was one thing we acknowledge they give us free hosting, it’s another where we now are a portal for their site. This search box heading is not on my other rootsweb sites (yet), just Minnesota. At this time a disclaimer on outside links on our websites is a recommendation, maybe with this blatant search box that should change. >> Mike >> Clay Co >> >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >> >> >> >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Tim, I don't think you will have to worry about "any time soon". This will take a while to get going and even longer to accomplish. :) Karen On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 11:23 AM, Karen De Groote <[email protected]> wrote: > Joy, isn't ixwebhosting the server the USGenWeb site is on and the one > MTGenWeb was on that repeatedly got hacked by the Chinese?

Joy, isn't ixwebhosting the server the USGenWeb site is on and the one MTGenWeb was on that repeatedly got hacked by the Chinese? When it worked it worked well but before checking them out can you let me know? Kathy, I can always ask. Maybe I can open up a dialogue between you and them and you can fast track what you will need to know? I think they also utilize PHP but not sure as that is not my cup of tea. We will figure out something. BTW they already took copies of everything on RW sites several years ago. They said you are using our site so it's our data. I will let you know what I can find out.
