IO Web Hosting

Interested in having your Internal Organization or Activity Web site hosted on the NSS Web server, or your own personal caving Web site?

Send a note to webhosting@caves.org with this information:

● Your name.
● Your IO's name (if applicable).
● The type and cost of web hosting account you desire.
● Your preferred URL (example: www.caves.org/grotto/xyz or www.grottoxyz.caves.org).
● Your preferred @caves.org e-mail address and the email address it should forward to.
● The name and mailing address of the person that should receive the web hosting invoice.
● The name and e-mail address of the person who will maintain your site.

Your note will be forwarded to the NSS Office for approval. When your account has been established, you will be invoiced for the amount due. You may pay by calling the NSS Office (256-852-1300) with a credit card, or mailing a check to NSS, 2813 Cave Avenue, Huntsville, AL 35810. Your note will also be forwarded to an NSS IT Committee team member for account setup.

You will receive a note from the NSS IT Committee with your actual URL and FTP info for your web hosting account.

Visit the Webmaster's Style Guide for hints and graphics to help make your site look good and conform to the rest of the NSS site.

You are responsible for keeping your web space usage at or below the amount you are paying for. If your account exceeds the alloted space for more than 7 days, you will be billed the additional amount for the current year. You/your IO is responsible for making the annual web hosting payment in the anniversary month, whether or not you receive an invoice.

All billing for the accounts is done by the NSS Office. Please notify the Office if you decide to terminate your usage. If your site is relocated to another provider, a redirect will be provided at no charge for one year.
