You have a mission. We have the hosting — and staff who have a habit of becoming irritatingly enthusiastic about our customers‘ missions.
For two decades we have hosted non-profits, community groups and values-driven organizations. The pattern is familiar: a tight budget, volunteers who change over, compliance obligations that arrived without warning, and traffic that is flat for months and then triples on the day of the appeal.
Why this is a different job from ordinary hosting
Running a non-profit has become harder than it was, not easier. So the useful things a host can offer are patience, engineering, and a price that does not creep. Not a sales funnel.
What makes it work
- An ethical foundation: renewable energy and operations we are willing to describe in detail.
- Human support through onboarding, DNS, email and migration — the parts where people actually get stuck.
- Good security and privacy defaults, GDPR-friendly out of the box.
- Simple pricing, with discounts for eligible organizations of up to and including 100%.
- Room to grow, from a single site to a multi-application stack.
Things non-profits ask us for
- Donation pages that do not buckle when the campaign lands.
- Program microsites for grant reporting.
- Multilingual portals for international work.
- Privacy-respecting analytics and forms.
- Staging slots, so a campaign launch can be rehearsed.
- Backups that actually restore, which is a different thing from backups that exist.
Common questions
How do we apply for non-profit pricing?
Write to sales@sustainablehosting.com and tell us about the organization. There is no scoring rubric — we read it and reply.
Can you migrate us off a legacy host?
Yes, and it is part of onboarding rather than a separate project. We handle the site, the DNS and the mail, and we aim for no downtime at all.
Is email included?
Hosted email comes with every plan. We also help with managed setups and mail routing, including the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records that decide whether your newsletter reaches anybody.
Bereit für einen Umzug an einen besseren Ort?
Wir ziehen Ihre Website und Ihren vollständigen Mailverlauf für Sie um, und wir sprechen alles mit Ihnen durch, bevor Sie etwas bezahlen. Kein Verkaufsskript, weil es hier niemanden gibt, der eines aufsagen würde.
