Welcome to 1ahost.co.uk's Directory of Webrings
Introduction
1ahost.co.uk's Directory of Webrings provides the tools you need to run a ring of web sites, i.e. a system of links between web sites of a similar topic, content, or interest.
Rings hosted at 1ahost.co.uk's Directory of Webrings
You are welcome to visit our Ring list. You may find a webring worth exploring or, if you have your own web site, maybe there is a ring you'd like to join.
Start your own Directory Category
If you don’t find a suitable category for your website then you may wish to set up a new category (ring) using 1ahost.co.uk's Directory of Webrings. If so then start by clicking on the link below and follow the instructions provided.

Ring homepage
Each webring is supposed to have a homepage with info for ring surfers, members and prospective members. A ring homepage may include:
- Topic/purpose of the webring.
- Intro to the webring concept. You'd better not take for granted that your visitors know anything about webrings.
- Requirements for joining - and staying in - the ring.
- Instructions how to join. Those may include rules for the placement of the navigation panel and how to download possible image(s) (if necessary).
- Terms of Service.
- Info how to contact the ringmaster.
- It's advisable to check out the homepages of some existing webrings for tips of what is typically included. Basically, the idea is that the ring shall be presented in a way that makes sense to both your visitors and members.
In our case, we ask that you put a link to the ring you have joined on at least one page of your website. This will enable the search engines to find you and index the whole of your site. The generic code we supply produces a small box that looks like this :-
Of course you don’t have to use the generic code, you can modify it to suit your own requirements or even substitute a graphic if you prefer. However you must include all the links that are in the generic code in your own design.
These are some useful strings for a ringmaster to put up in links at the ring homepage:
