I have received a few questions about what is needed to put a website up on the AMA District II server. I will attempt to make this as easy as possible.

  1. The very first thing you need to do is find someone who will build your club website. Usually within a club is enough talent to do this if you ask, or there are lots of easy to use programs out there that will make it drag and drop to make a website.
  2. Your club needs to decide if it is going to purchase a domain name for the club. By a domain name, I mean something like "myclubname.org" where the ".org" is the best suited type of domain name for a club. The domain name server has to point to the amadistrict II Domain Name Server. (I can go through this with a club should they need help). Also, you can check with me about purchasing a domain name, and this way I will set it up on the DNS, one less headache for someone not too familiar with doing this. Domain names usually cost between $12 and $40 depending on where you purchase it from.
  3. If the club decides not to purchase a domain name, then once you have someone who will be doing the work, you just have to let me know and what I will do is create what is known as a "Sub Domain". The URL for this type of domain would look like this: "myclubname.amadistrictii.org".  I will then create an ftp account so the person an upload the site to the server and it is live. 
The AMA District II server has both types of domains on it, some clubs use subdomains and some have purchased their own club domain name.
