Re: [epub] Website question

[Rob Charles <rob.charles@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Audrey-

You have a couple of options here.  You can either choose to host your 
newsletter yourself, which is a good option for those that have the 
resources to pull it off, or you can out source your list, and rely on the 
expertise of your host company.  There are free services, ie-Topica and 
eGroups that you could use, but you might not get the level of customer 
service you need, and you will have to put up with the advertising they 
will put on your list in exchange for their hosting services.

There are fee based hosting companies out there that might be just the 
thing you are looking for.  Some fee based companies will provide you with 
the HTML code to incorporate into your site, which will give you the 
ability to have your auto subscript line on your site.  The companies that 
I know of off hand that will do this for you are: SparkLIST, Lyris, and 
Dundee.  These 3 companies all use Lyris as a software solution, and are 
all priced a little differently.  If you decide that outsourcing your list 
is the way to go, you might want to do a little research on fee based 
hosting companies and pick the one that you feel will offer the best 
combination of service, cost, and support.

You can research these companies by clicking on the following URL:

e-Based/index.shtml

This should give you a start anyway:)
