[CS-FSLUG] Need recomendations for Domain and Web Site Hosting

[Eduardo Sanchez]

Ralph:

David and Tim offer excellent hosting packages. Both have my warmest 
recommendation.

Now, about the embedded wav files: You're looking for trouble with that. 
I would suggest you to encode the wavs to either mp3 or ogg.

Moreover, and since this is going to be online, I would recommend 
variable bitrate, minimum 96, maximum 160 kbps in either format. Ogg 
seems to work better, especially at lower bitrates. You'll get a 
tenfold (or more) reduction in size at no appreciable quality loss.

Blessings,


Eduardo
