This, our fifth site, has resided on a Linux web server in Auburn, California, since April 2004. This site
currently consists of 3,082 pages and supports three Internet domains: hancockonline.net, hancockonline.name,
and hancockonline.us. Web pages are developed in the HTML and maintained on two IBM computers in our
local network and then copied onto the web server. (Sensitive genealogical data are kept on two other IBM
computers not connected to the Internet.) Non-digital photographs are input via a Lexmark X5160 scanner.
For optimum viewing, use a 1024 x 768 pixel display, small fonts, a maximized window,
and the Firefox browser
.
Pages added since 2002 conform to
and CSS2 standards.
The history of our four predecessor sites is as follows:
- Our first web site was small and slow. It began in December 1995.
- Our second site began in February 1997 and was bigger and better.
- Our third site went online in June 1997 and grew to 70 pages.
- Our fourth site went online in October 2002 with the new URL www.hancockonline.net. It grew to 211 pages.
The web servers for these sites were initially located in Santa Monica and later in Los Angeles, California. The first three sites were commercial sites addressed with our prior URL www.AIA-AnD.com. The data within our sites as they existed from May 1997 through January 2008 were archived and are available from the Internet Archive's WaybackMachine (www.archive.org).
