America Online has forced me to buy a domain and find a web site hosting company to keep my web sites, for which I worked so hard, alive. With barely one month's notice, they have shut down their free web hosting services which was also ad-free (an extremely rare thing).
My web sites are all non-commercial and not-for-profit. Some are free computer tutorials, one is a free stamp collecting guide, some are fun things with family pictures, one is a children's story loaded with interesting animated characters, couple of them are travel related ... etc etc.
I took the pain of moving my sites to a new location and pay money from my pocket to maintain the site. But the problem is people still cannot find my sites because those eight legged crawling insects, which the arachnophobic persons find so scary, have probably not discovered my new site yet. The search engines totally rely on them to find and crawl on new sites before any site can be added to their indices. So I am laying a bait for those creepy crawlers here. Hopefully, my bait will work.
Okay, so my new site is called Bestnetguru.com and it is located here in the huge cyberspace:
The following sites can be accessed from there:
Shoban Sen's Web sites:

ABC's of Computing

Whew! Just to list all my sites here I became tired. Imagine, how hard I had to work to create these sites! And believe me, I do also maintain my sites. Am I hardworking or what? And all these work for no money -- just labor of love. I must be a stupid!!!
