Answers to common FAQs
Common FAQs for Free Charity Hosting
Read the common FAQs that your charity may have prior to completing and submitting your application for free charity hosting.
No. Our charity hosting is for your main charity website and will only be able to host 1 website.
Should you have the need to host multiple websites then we can offer a discount on one of our paid web hosting plans.
Once your charity hosting is activated, open a support ticket with the migration department via the client area.
They will need access to your existing hosting account (cPanel and/or other main providers) whereby they will connect to and migrate over all the relevant files and DB.
Unfortunately we cannot manually access backup(s) you may have stored on a local drive or in the cloud. Our technicians use remote software to grab your assets and migrate them over.
In the event that our technicians advise that a migration is not possible, then you will need to migrate your site yourselves.
Your charity needs an existing domain name for us to offer you free charity hosting.
You don’t need to transfer or migrate your domain to us.
Simply keep the domain where it is and update the nameservers settings when required to do so.
Our migration team will provide you with all the relevant details at the right time.
You can of course register additional domain names for use with additional services if required.
There may be a number of reasons why no-one has replied to your application. We will only accept submissions if ALL the charity details are correct.
Information you provide is cross referenced against official records. If there are discrepancies then your application will be declined and we cannot guarantee a reply.
Note: A trustee of the charity needs to make the application from the charities registered domain address and not a generic: hotmail, outlook, yahoo, gmail etc. email account.
Make sure you followed all the requirements when applying to ensure your application is successfully processed.
