    Does anyone have any recommendations on a good, password protected personal wedding website service?  I've tried the Knot, but not only are they really bad at answering my technical questions, but they don't password protect the first page.  On this first page is our photo and the date and location of our wedding.  These are exactly what I don't want the whole world to see!!!  I want my guests to submit a password in order to see this information.  BBB doesn't seem to do this and myregistry.com won't take a guest to the wedding website until after they've been routed to the registry.  Any ideas?

    I have a site on www.weddingwindow.com and it is able to be password-protected, but the site does cost $ - I did the free trial though and loved it so much I decided it was well worth it :)

    Mine's on weddingsolutions.com, but same as above, it costs $. A lot actually, unless you buy they're planner, which I did, so only $14 with their planner. I love the site because it offers SO much more than the average wedding site. Mine's http://mysite.weddingsolutions.com/chrisandliz/ if you want to see how it looks. I'm all not-careful and dumb and don't protect mine. >_< I should do that, shouldn't I?

    You can get a free, password protected website at www.weddingwire.com  That's where our website is -- we've gotten tons of compliments on it!  I highly recommend it.

    Got a tech saavy friend who could help you set it up? I'm lucky in that if we have a wedding website (which if we have a wedding, we will), the man will take care of all those password-protection details for me (we'd run it off our own server instead of a service). :)

    Another idea-if you have access to the files on your site, you can upload a robots.txt file that tells search engines to stay away, so your website won't be on Google and other search engines.

    I tried to just not put last names on my website.  It is suprisingly difficult.

    I used weddingwindow too and have it password protected. You can also put a password on each specific web page within your site, so if you only want to password your "About Us" or "Ceremony/Reception Details," you can do that.

    We used Wedorama.  It's $70 for a year, but I have been very happy with it.  Also, they do have a way of password protecting your entire site.

    Weddingwindow does charge.  They give you a trial period but then they lock down the site if you don't pay up. 

    I'm using weddingwindow.com and it breaks down to about 10 bux a month which I feel is very reasonable considering the costs of what most hosting providers will charge you just for the hard drive space on their servers and making your responsible for designing, programming and putting the website up yourself.
