(Siloam Springs, AR, Sep 15, 1999) -- Taking advantage of the free
web space and web site building tools offered by FreeServers (http://www.freeservers.com),
Siloam Springs resident Christopher Hobbs has created "Gerbil Junction"
(http://gerbil.iwarp.com), a site devoted specifically to gerbils. Hobbs's
web site provides plenty of info on gerbils, thier breeding, thier habbits,
them as pets, a chat room, soon a message board, and loads o' information
on them ;) come see these adoreable animals here!. Hobbs chose the FreeServers
for website hosting primarily because it is FREE!, because of the Advanced
Editor, and FTP access to his site.
Hobbs, like many small businesses, families, and individuals, is turning
to free web providers like FreeServers to easily and quickly establish
an Internet presence without the traditional expenses and risks involved
in building a web site. Not only does charge no monthly fees for
free custom domain names, but also provides tools that enableanyone,
regardless of experience or Internet savvy, to create a professional-looking
web site in minutes. They can then easily update and add cool new features
to their site from month to month without having to pay a professional
web design company or ISP's high design, hosting, and maintenance fees."
At a time when good domain names are becoming scarce, Hobbs was also
able to choose a domain name that fit the content of "Gerbil Junction"
by utilizing the free "custom domain names," which lets members include
their own name or business name right in the URL, such as "Gerbil Junction.freeservers.com".
Savvy surfers like Hobbs have already established their web spaces
on FreeServers, and the word has been spreading fast. All anyone has to
do is go to http://signup.freeservers.com, fill out a quick sign up form,
and then start building a web site. Word of mouth seems to be letting the
secret out quickly. FreeServers currently offers members 20 megabytes
of space, custom domain names and email addresses, and a host of site building
and promotion tools all with no setup fee and no monthly charges. In the
future, FreeServers hopes to add free instant messaging, internet paging,
e-commerce capabilities, chat, calendars, genealogy tools, and any other
tools that members identify a need for.
Hobbs is very happy with the service and hopes to stay with FreeServers
to take advantage of new features as they come, and encourages other Siloam
Springs residents who have wanted to have their own web site to use FreeServers
as well. Now a veteran at using the FreeServers website tools, Hobbs is
willing to share knowledge and experience with other Siloam Springs
residents who are interested in building their own web sites. Although
you can already visit the site, "Gerbil Junction" will officially launch
on 9/15/99. Hobbs invites everyone to come and help celebrate the
launch, and to check out the great gerbil related content on the web site.
