More than one year after the purchase, I begun to use the genealogie.com
domain name for email. Two years later, I was still receiving mail
at the old email, mostly SPAM.

I rented my first Web server for 3 monthes. Soon after that,
http://genealogie.com was on the air. This doesn't mean the site
was completely under the domain. The transfer was done slowly.
For the next 9 monthes, the site was shared between my CAM.ORG account
and the new server. It was a bad idea I must say. Indeed, if
I had changed my email sooner, there would be much less site to advise
about the new address. |
| |
The site continued to grow day after day without giant steps.
On a long run, the number of visitors continued to grow slowly. |
| March 1999 |
In March 1999, the server I was using decided to forbid use of C++
softwares for security reasons. I moved soon to a new site. |
| |
From April to August, the weekly hits increased from 12 to 20,000,
including about 40% for images). The home pages were read about 500
times/week. |
| September 12th,1999 |
My worse Internet day. Nearly all Web sites of the CAM.ORG ISP
were emptied by a pirate. In the next days, I moved to genealogie.com
all pages not already there. From that time, the old site had only
pointers to the new site. |
| |
From September, readership increased faster. It jumped from 40,000
hits and 1,000 home pages read pages in October to over 50,000 and 1,700
in January 2000. |
