As time went on the site got the url http://spicegirlsnews.home.ml.org which was a bit easier to remember and attracted a slightly larger audience as people discovered that these Spice Fans really knew their stuff and had it updated first. The news page wasn't anything graphical at all, just pure straight up news, and fast news. With the downfall of #spicegirls in May of 1998, many people that had updated the site lost interest. By the middle of June 1998 almost all of the posts being made to the news page were by "Jozzy Spice". It had become an addicting hobby of his to post the news, he liked the feeling of informing others for the first time about something. Soon he became the only person that continued to post news to the page. As time passed he kept posting through the web-form which was a very tedious way of updating a web page that basically only he did. He was thinking of moving the page to his own server. He was slow in doing this but was forced into it when he realized that Monolith Systems would soon stop providing their home.ml.org domain names for free. At this point he moved the web page to drh.net, which was his homepage server. Anna-Karin was nice enough to supply a redirection link to Joz's server from the old page that http://spicegirlsnews.home.ml.org pointed to.

Since he now had the web page in his possesion he could do whatever he wanted with it! Once again he was slow in changing it's layout, although it badly needed it, as the news from way back in January 1998 was still on the same page as the 1999 news! Finally in April of 1999 the site was renovated completely to look like an actual website rather then just one page (Picture). In the same month Joz acquired www.spicenews.com and soon moved the website to a faster server. The site continued with this design for a year and a half, until Joz's friend anon98 came up with the current design, which was much more modern & professional looking.

In January of 2001 Joz decided that he no longer wanted to constantly be thinking "when was the last time I updated SpiceNews, gotta update it before tomorrow definitely, people are waiting for the news, damn it I didn't update it for two days, etc". He wanted to take a bit of the worry off and be able to update the site leisurely and not have the news-posting depend solely on him. He asked renound spice girls mailing list news poster Luke Peterson if he would like to help. Luke accepted and SpiceNews became a team once again. In the announcement Joz said: "This site originally was updated by a team of between 5-10 people. After I gained complete control over it, it was down to just me updating it. Thats how it has been for the past two years. As we go into the fourth year of SpiceNews, things are starting to come around full circle. I've decided to move SpiceNews into a more open format, with multiple people updating the site..." In accordance with the statement, Schnickers & Mike were added to the roster in March, and Angie Hung in April, making the SpiceNews team a total of 5. Five turned into four(hmmm) at almost the same time: Joz announced his retirement from SpiceNews in that April of 2001.
