Vesana: Non-profit Web Hosting
I plan to launch a Photoblog in the very near future. Folks who know me will ask “Why do you want another blog?” I realize that this weblog is packed with photos. However, this is not a proper photoblog. So, I’ve researched photoblogging software and hosts and come up with both.
I’ll use Vesana to host the new blog. I chose Vesana Network because the company uses the proceeds from paying customers, like me, to fund hosting webspace for non-profits. That business model fits with my values. I’ll happily pay to provide services for those who serve others, which is the bi-line for Vesana.
I’ve chosen PixelPost for the software for my photoblog because it is a simple open-source software solution.
Another reason I put these two together is that Vesana installs open-source software for users for free. There is a caveat, Vesana is not a domain reseller. That’s fine for me because I already have a domain host. I added a subdomain to rolandallen.com (to be announced when I launch the new photoblog) that I’ll use.
I know that this post is far to geeky to be of interest to many others. But, this information and my process may be of interest to those who are looking for a photoblogging solution.
