Request a Url
A unique address is a way for you to have a more personal address for your home page than the one assigned when you joined. Without a unique address, your home page address looks something like: www.petfinder.org/shelters/NJ19.html. With a Unique Address, you choose an address you like, for example: noahsark.petfinder.org. Request your own unique url.
Free Web Hosting
Are you interested in a larger Web site than the one-page Petfinder home page you currently have?
Petfinder will host a 40Mb site for your shelter. You can use the extra space for additional pages and
pictures (including logos, staff pictures, and adoption applications), all of which can be linked with
your current home page. (We allow you cgi use, but we do not support front page extensions.)
You will still update your pet list and edit your main home page in the same way you always have. The
rest of your site must be created, uploaded, and linked by you, manually, using FTP (file transfer
protocol). We will supply a JavaScript that you can use to forward your current home page to a new
main page in FTP. You will need to do this if you wish to use a Web page creation program to create
all pages, including the home page. Learn More.
