Hi Michael,
OpenNIC doesn't operate any web hosting services - instead OpenNIC offers a set of extra names to identify computers connected to the internet. You will need to sign up for a web hosting account with another provider. Once you have done that, you can assign a name like www.michaelholmes.null (for instance) to the hosting account you have created with your provider. OpenNIC is the service that lets you register that name and assign it. OpenNIC also operates a number of DNS servers (Domain Name Servers) that will instruct anyone else who wants to resolve your OpenNIC name to your host.

Hello,

I am new and not server savvy - but I can operate in other programs. I do feel strongly about OpenNic and would like to contribute. The best way I can think of is to write an OpenNIC Wiki article on how to upload and manage web pages on OpenNIC. First, I have to figure out how to do that. I propose that you folks on the mailing list help me get some basics figured out and I will write a clear and comprehensive guide for current and future OpenNIC users. I am familiar with FTP and Dreamweaver. I could figure out Joomla! and share me experience with new users.

The need for clear communication is also apparent on the introductory pages of opennicproject.org. I might be convinced to work on this project as well. I have some graphic ability in Adode Illustrator and Photoshop - so I'll toss that into the mix too.

 

All the very best,

 

Michael
