So you want to start a new webring? Well, lucky for you it is extremely easy to do so. Just read on to find out what you need to do to get started...
What do I need to start my very own webring?
Here are some basic requirements to get started:
- A topic for your webring.
- Some basic knowledge of HTML. (You will have to make an html fragment known as the navpanel, that your members can copy and then paste onto their web pages)
- A "homepage" for your ring. You will have to set up a webring "homepage" with instructions on how to join your ring, requirements for joining, etc. If you do not already have webspace, you can get a website at several different web hosts for only a few dollars a month (best to avoid the 'free' web hosts).
- After your ring is set up, you will have to invite sites to join your ring, then you will approve or deny the sites according to your requirements.
- Lastly, you will need time to manage your webring - The quality of your webring will depend on how well you manage it (deleting sites that do not exist or have not placed the ring's navpanel on their site, inviting new sites to join, and so on.)
Why The King's Rings was started.
We at The King's Rings are out to change the entire concept of webring hosting. The King's Rings was created by webmasters that thought RingMaster should have all the rescores that they would ever need all for FREE! Not to mention without ADS and guess what? Still FREE! (We are a walk By Faith Ministry) As I was managing my rings on other webring servers even thought they where in a Christian Category the ads where still offensive to me. Even thought they where what the webring sever thought was Christian they where Religious as well as offensive. Most of them went agents Jesus the Christ. I have even seen ads that said Jesus never died on the cross and married Mary Magendeln. This was unacceptable to me. It went agents my teachings of The Holy Bible. (SACKERALAGE) So I created The King's Rings where the Word of God can be taught by your members and ringmasters alike.
As the determined individual that I am, I paid one webring server to suspend my ads and it did, BUT just for me the people that went into the hub still seen the ads. As I started The King's Rings I went into prayer and asked for guidance and sure as our God is he gave it to me.
Here is what God has blessed us with to offer RingMaster.
- Ad free. (Site and hub)
- Kid safe.
- FREE custom made webring code graphics and website design.

- Email notification of new applicants.
- Home page join form.
- Home page member log in.
- Queues to hold applicants untill you approve them.

- The system can check your code for you.
- Main page feature ring. Last 1 week (FREE) I am working on way that every time the Home page of The King's Rings opens a new banner will appear. (This way every one gets equal time on ring advertising.)
- And much more is coming.
What can my topic be about?
Your topic can be about anything you want! As long as there are sites on the internet about your topic, you can join them together in a webring! Your topic can be anything from "aardvarks" to "zoos". Point being, is that you can make your topic as broad or as detailed as you want.

What can I customize on my ring?
One of the things that we had in mind when creating this webring system, was to give more power to you the ringmaster. Here is what you can customize:
- Your ring homepage. You can design it however you like. Since it is your webpage, you can do whatever you like with it!
- Your ring's navpanel (The HTML code fragment that your members will have on their web sites). It can be as big or small as you want, it can include images, a image map, tables, text, whatever you want!
- Your ring's logo. Your logo is shown on the list page, stats page, search page, and the previous 5 and next 5 links. It can be whatever you want.
- The colors for your ring. You can customize the colors in Ring Admin, and several other things.
- The emails sent to your members.
- The page seen after submitting a new site to your ring.
- The language used for your ring. With this Webring System you can host your ring in 9 different languages. (German, English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, and Chinese)
