FREE Web Host for Non-Profits

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to share with you that DreamHost (large data center host out in California) gives away FREE hosting for LIFE to 501(c)(3) organizations. I've been on this plan for 5 years now and haven't had any major outages and they are pretty fast. They offer UNLIMITED storage and bandwidth which is even pretty awesome along with a sweet cpanel for installing apps and using cloudflare. Here's the link to the page to learn how to sign up.

Feel free to share other hosts out there that offer free non-profit hosting as well for all those teams that are currently paying monthly fees or are using free hosts with ads, this adds a professional feel to their sites.

Re: FREE Web Host for Non-Profits

So if we are a school club, is there no way to utilize this offer unless our team incorporates?

The school likely has non-profit status (or has a non-profit booster club, etc.) that you could probably use to register for the hosting.

If you email/fax them your info and explain your situation, I'm sure they'll try to help you out... Also if you're a student, check this out ($30/year hosting for life w/ same perks!)

I also forgot to say that the FREE hosting also includes a FREE domain name registration for life! I would assume this deal would too.

I will try to contact support and see what kind of deal/special promo code/contact to have teams use to get free hosting, since almost all of us are associated with non-profits, and others being more lenient then others to give out their letter of non-profit status. (Heck, I know our letter was dated like 1960 or 70 something and looked ancient, but it still worked )
