Our new website got us thinking about the several websites we have had over the years, so here's a brief rundown of the history of the DGS on the web, not that anyone really cares about it all that much...
http://danville.hypermart.net (11/1999 - 2/2004) - A free website that kept getting more and more popup and banner ads, and then they decided right before the 2004 Elk Toss to cancel our site unless we started paying. Coupled with poor customer service, we moved on to...
http://www.geocities.com/danvillegerman (2/2004 - 2/2007) - Another free website that kept increasing the number of ads, so we moved on to...
http://danvillegerman.googlepages.com (2/2007-1/2010) - Once again, a free website, but this one did not have ads. It was easy to use, but they decided to cancel Page Creator and move our website to Google Sites (http://sites.google.com/site/danvillegerman/) sometime in 2009. The new service took away a lot of the functions of the old service, so we finally broke down and moved our website to...
http://www.danvillegerman.com/ (1/2010 - ?) - We're paying for this site, but we own the domain name and we have not yet had any of the problems we had with previous web hosts. We are using http://www.godaddy.com/ to host the site, which has been working out pretty well so far in terms of customer service and ease of use. Hopefully that continues.
