I was not aware that the RSGB offered web space to members.  Most providers however
require you to upload via ftp - you can do this with IE or other browsers (even
Opera), but best to use a dedicated package (I recommend Cupertino from
http://www.bigfoot.com/~CupertinoFTP)

To do this you will need to know the address of the ftp site and of course your
username and password, which only the RSGB or its provider can supply, who will also
tell you the address name of the site (usually username.index.htm as the entry page)

If you wish to get a domain name for your club, you need to do this with one of the
various providers, who will set up a rerouting service to the host provider - eg we
have www.g4bra.org.uk which is actually hosted elsewhere.
