I registered it back when we were trying to form a bit more organized
group. Nothing came of it and some people were against it so I didn’t
renew it last month when it came due but its most likely still available.

I am certainly up for this idea! Happy to chip in.
we could really structure a more interesting website than on the
yahoo forums, all kinds of features can be set up and it can be a
sort of portal to many related sites. it would be super to
offer “Freedom” paraphenalia for sale to offset the cost of
maintenance. I’ll look into using the freedom logo and other images
for these purposes.
who else out there is interested?

I just looked up the current cost for getting a fully featured
Freedom Web site on GoDaddy.com (they are considered good for a
budget internet host).

Domain Name per year: $10 or less

FredomSailers.com IS AVAILABLE

FredomYachtOwners.com is up for renewal and may become available at
regular price fairly soon.

100GB website $6-7 per month (annual)The site can have subdomains
for
the different boat types.

Look here: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/shared.asp?se=%
https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/shared.asp?se=%25
2B&app%5Fhdr=&ci=5652

Adding a 20 item Shopping Cart for i.e. Sweatshirts and Flags would
add less than $ 10 a month (there a setup fee for a Merchant
account)

The Subdomain Feature id free and very nice to
have …

for example: for F25 specific stuff (replace the www. with F25)

F25.freedomowners.com

or Homepages for each member of the group by Hull Number i.e F36
Mull
#34

F36M-34.freedomowners.com – This kind of subdomain can be on the
same site (and share cost) or be pointed to an owners private
website.

or by boatname “freely” (again no www.)

freely.freedomsailors.com

They will pay us to buy addspace for Google and others but I would
rather pay cash than put up with that.

I will personally make a contribution towards splitting the cost
and
help set it up if there is an interest.
