Hosting & Domain Names

Domain Names

You may already have a domain name and if so we can easily edit your settings to point to your new website. If you don’t have a domain name yet we are able to supply one for you and advise on the best one for your parish council, trust or small authority.

Hosting

As part of our service we also include secure hosting. Our servers are UK based with a 99.9% uptime. As part of the service we will perform daily backups and regular software updates giving you peace of mind that your website is safe, secure and up to date.

Gov.uk Domains

As a smaller authority there is no requirement for you to incur the extra expense associated with a .gov.uk domain name. Guidelines state that you instead can use a .org domain name and indicate your status by using the words parish council or the letters pc within the domain. We can supply you with a domain name of this type as part of our website packages.

example – www.anytownpc.org 

Should you wish to apply for a .gov.uk domain name then we are approved JANET registrars and therefore we are able to register a gov.uk, ac.uk, gov.scot, gov.wales and llyw.cymru domain name on your behalf. See here for more details.
