Interest in genealogy has increased tremendously in recent years. A website is a great way to show your family tree diagram, and then you can invite all budding genealogists that think they may be related to you, to have a look at your site and see if they can match their own research to yours. Its amazing just how many people have enjoyed finding long lost relatives through their website ! We recommend a visit to www.british-genealogy.com

One immediate benefit of having your own Website is to be able to distribute files. Photographs are usually quite large computer files, and can take a long time to send, or download by e-mail. This can be frustrating and over a conventional modem, quite costly to you, and to the person receiving your picture files by e-mail. Help is at hand ! Your web pages can can include 'thumbnail' pictures which are much quicker to to upload and download. Your friends and family can now 'browse' your thumbnail pictures and click on any picture to obtain an enlargement - now they can choose which picture they particularly want to see. You get to show all of your pictures to everyone and make them available all of the time, they will thank you for saving them time, and money ! |

If you a looking for a really original present for your Husband, Wife, Son, Daughter, or Grandchild, what could be better than their own personal web site, pre set up with their own domain name and including perhaps some favourite pictures, a family tree, or simply as an information source for friends and family all over the world. The web site will be a valuable resource for them to use for the rest of their lives. Based on the results from a recent Customer Survey carried out by the hosting company 1&1, is clear that websites are an increasingky popular way to stay in contact with distant family and friends at Christmas. In fact, over 66% of their customers responded to their survey and stated that photos, webcams, forums, web and POP3 mail linked to their website allowed them to maintain a close contact with distant loved ones over the 2002 festive break. |

In our modern times, we are all changing our jobs more often, and if you are looking for a new job, why not put your Resume / CV on the web ? Wouldn't it impress a prospective employer if you were to refer them to your own personal web page, where they can read your portfolio and see details of your career, your experience and qualifications, with a link to your e-mail address for them to contact you ? . . . "More and more employers are using the Internet to recruit staff" BBC Working Lunch, Wednesday 21 January, 2004. |

Email is an excellent way to keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues around the world, Would you like email with your Website ? Of course you can always direct visitors to your usual email address (you@btinternet.com or whatever) but being known as you@yoursiteaddress.com looks more professional and means your email is no longer dependent on your ISP (Internet Service Provider) |

To share a special occasion. . . . . |
Had a very special holiday, or even a wedding or christening in the family ? What better way to share your photos of that holiday, wedding, or christening with friends and family wherever they are in the world, than by including your photographs from the happy day within your own personal web pages. . . . E-mail is a very handy way of keeping in touch with friends, family and colleagues around the world but it's not always the best way to share your memories of a that special occasion. This is particularly true if you want to send photographs to lots of people. It may be fairly easy to send a small selection of photo's to all of your friends and family in an e-mail, but what about the recipients ? Those without a broadband connection will not be too happy about receiving large files as e-mail attachments. If you have your own website all you have to do is let us load your photographs to your website to create a photo album of your special occasion, then send an e-mail with details of your website address and they can then download what they want. Easy ! |

To store important data. . . . . |
If you travel regularly but don't have a laptop, posting documents on your private website (only you need know the URL) will allow you to access the information from a cybercafe anywhere in the world. If you don't just want to rely on paper originals you can look at the information on your website which would be particularly useful should you loose your documents and need to contact an insurance provider, credit card issuer, or bank. You can apply this idea to any documentation you might need while you are away from home, although its not a good idea to put very sensitive information on your site, even if you keep your web address confidential, unless you ask us to protect your site with a password. |

To provide information about your local area . . . . . |
If you're feeling public-spirited, you could draw together information about your local area ( and the chances are you could do a better job of it than most councils). If you're feeling high-spirited, how about a local pub guide ? |
