 ** Getting onto the web
 Create a subdomain on [[http://freedns.afraid.org][freeDNS]].  You may need to click on "/subdomains/" a couple of times.  FreeDNS is preferred because it is one of the few domain name providers which supports genuinely free (as in beer) accounts.  So if your budget is tiny or non-existent you can still participate as a first class citizen of the internet.  If you do have money to spend there is also a premium option.
