Charity Web Hosting

Registered UK charities receive our full standard package completely free. That means 20GB of SSD webspace, the ability to host unlimited websites, unlimited email accounts, unlimited MySQL databases and unlimited bandwidth. You also get a free SSL certificate for every domain, free daily backups, our AI website builder and the WordPress Toolkit — everything you need to run a professional website, with security built in.

Check that your organisation holds a current UK registered charity number, then get in touch with our team to apply. Once we verify your details and approve your application, we'll get you set up as quickly as possible. It only takes a few minutes to start, and our team will guide you through the rest.

We simply need your registered charity number so we can verify your organisation against the relevant public register. We may also need to confirm that you are authorised to represent it. Have your registration number and a few basic details ready when you get in touch and we'll take care of the rest.

Any registered UK charity can apply. That includes organisations registered with the Charity Commission for England & Wales, OSCR in Scotland, or CCNI in Northern Ireland. You'll provide a valid charity registration number when you apply. If you're a non-profit without full charity status, get in touch — we may still be able to help.

No catch. The standard package is completely free for eligible registered charities, with no hidden fees and nothing to buy. We provide free hosting because we believe every organisation deserves a professional website, whatever its budget.

We take security seriously, and it's built into every plan. Your website is protected by advanced malware and antivirus scanning with ImunifyAV+, DDoS protection at the network level, and an SSL certificate for 256-bit encryption. Free daily backups with JetBackup mean your files, databases and email can be restored quickly if anything ever goes wrong. Between proactive scanning, encryption and reliable backups, your site and your supporters' data stay well protected.

The standard free offer suits the vast majority of charity websites. If your organisation grows and needs more power, you can move up to WordPress, Premium or VPS hosting at any time. These upgrades are charged at our standard rates — contact our team and we'll help you choose the package that fits.

We're proud to support charities and non-profits, so whether you're launching a brand-new site or moving an existing one, we're here to help promote your cause and get it online.
