I use a hosting company called SiteGround - siteground.com

To build the site, I used a tool called Drupal - it's an open-source content management tool, but I think it's a little too blog-oriented for what we need. I'm looking at some other options, will probably go with Mambo to setup the next iteration of the site, especially since we're going to be adding merchandise and will want to collect $ online for memberships, etc.

For a quick site setup - I just hosted it on gorley.com/soccer and have the URLs forwarding to that - but working on the next version will be stand-alone.

Great thing about a content management tool, with a little hard work and setup in the beginning, it can be really easy to let other people update content on the site, so several of us can update/post/add articles, events, match reviews, or whatever.
