New in 2006! I have a domain name. Since I will be graduating from WUSTL this summer I decided to get a more permanent web space. These pages are now hosted by SiteGround and can be found at www.saraogtim.com.
SiteGround offer a lot of services, are the cheapest I could find and have a very consistent and reliable service.
