Many of these links came from Michael Low, Chief Editor of www.HostAZ.com - "the definitive A-Z guide to cheap web hosting." (You can visit that website for inexpensive-hosting recommendations -- CAVEAT EMPTOR: though Mr. Low gives a 5-star recommendation to HostingU.com, my own experience, and that of many others, is that HostingU.com does not deliver what it advertises! [Mr. Low has been informed of this, and continues to give a 5-star recommendation.] -- and www.SitePub.com for more information and resources regarding website publishing.)
