NELUG is hosted by pair Networks ( www.pair.com ). We have an Advanced account
which goes for $16.95 per month plus setup fees. You get 60 Meg of space plus
other features including a POP mail account. To see a listing of all their
services look at ( http://www.pair.com/pair/services.html ). There are some
that are more expensive ans some less. Pair also has some Pre-paid deals that
help to drop the price (We got lucky because we pre-paid for 1 year and at the
time Pair was running a monthly promotion for 50% off if you pre-paid).
On the issue of "Pop-up Adds" I would say avoid them if at all possible. I
personally can't stand them and I will often not even look at a site if Adds
start poping up in new windows. Adds on the page aren't quite so bad but I
think it takes away from the spirit of the group. I guess it just comes down
to how much you are willing to spend and how many people are willing to help
defray the cost.
