It sounds like if anyone would like a homepage for their genealogy, it will be available soon. I don't know the details yet like if it cost and so forth but if anyone is interested they can email Brian.

The executive summary is that RootsWeb had more than 20% absolute growth in the last four months, but that's deceptively low because of the downtime while we upgraded the main server. Here are the detailed statistics on our June operations: o 35,930,194 total Web hits: - 10,166,861 were HTML pages. - 6,010,657 were cgi-bin database searches and such. - 19,514,782 were graphics (gifs, jpegs, etc). o 779,280 FTP file downloads from the USGenWeb Archives and the ROOTS-L Library. o Thanks to a neat hack by Tim Pierce, we know we shipped more than 77,000,000 pieces of e-mail to our mailing lists. (The 77 million is actually much too low; we had to archive a significant amount of mail before the count because of a disk space crunch on one of the mail servers ... ) o 60,000 alt.g and s.g.* Usenet News articles to hosts on three continents. o Approximately 660,960,000,000 bytes in total. As always, RootsWeb remains supported by user contributions.
