Hi All,</div>

Leo kindly consulted with the IAOA on the hosting questions we raised during our last meeting. Here is Oliver’s response:</div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><< Very briefly, if I understood correctly, you want to run a blog (call it BLOG). I can either</span></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">1- let you (or somebody else) install it on a site's subfolder (reachable as www.iaoa.org/BLOG)</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">2- manage through GoDaddy to set up a new FQDN inside the iaoa.org domain (like BLOG.iaoa.org pointing to the usual physical machine) then, using apaches virtualhosts redirect the FQDN to the previously created subfolder)</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Usually, even if you eventually want 2), it's better to start with 1) for testing if everything works correctly.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">The differences between 2) and 1) (the easier way) are more 'political' then just 'technical’. >></font></div>
<br>
<div>
<div>Personally, I find something like www.iaoa.org/swaoblog to be a plausible way to start with (or www.iaoa.org/swao/blog). </div>
<div>In case we go for option 2, it would be nice to have “swao.iaoa.org" as our main website, “wiki.swao.iaoa.org" or "swao.iaoa.org/wiki” as our wiki url and “blog.swao.iaoa.org” or "swao.iaoa.org/blog” as our blog url.</div>
</div>

<div>What do you think? Any suggestions or recommendations?</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
