All NPPA sites are at the courtesy of the site owners. PressLink and Photo
Professionals Forum on CompuServe are two commercial IPs that provide space
to us. Our list sites are through the generosity of Elliott Parker of
Central Michigan University. Our Web project is supported by Sunsite at the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

If we gain access to a secure Web server, it will be through a similar
third party. I have an inkling that we might get such an offer from a
commercial site that is currently undergoing testing, I don't know for sure
that it will happen or in exactly what form. I suspect that we might just
end up linking to it from our current home page.
