Domain update Town.windham.nh.us costs $50/month from NAII and will be discontinued as of December 31, 2003 to save costs.

Webfor less hosts windhamhewhampshire.us for internal useful links.

Mr. Borcoche described ways to add a secondary domain to the mailserver and point the new domain to there directly. A suggestion to put emails on the town website as bitmaps to avoid website scanners from obtaining addresses for SPAM services.

Eric mentioned that there will be some commercials made for advertising the new website address. There is a new electronic town newspaper, the link to the site is on the new website. The subscription to it comes by email. We suggested a new sign be put on cable channel for the new website.
