What charities and foundations really need from website hosting
Lessons from supporting the OJ Foundation website: low running costs, reliable donations pages and email that volunteers can share.
We also support the website of OJ Foundation, a charity focused on supporting orphans and widows. Non-profits have very different pressures from commercial businesses, and their hosting should reflect that.
Predictable, low running costs
Every naira spent on hosting is a naira not spent on the cause. That is why our plans are priced in naira, billed simply, and keep the same price at renewal, so a foundation can budget for the year ahead without surprises.
Pages that must work when it counts
Campaign launches and appeals bring sudden spikes of visitors. Uptime monitoring and a well-maintained site mean the donation and contact pages stay available when supporters are most ready to help.
Email for a changing team
Charities often rely on volunteers who come and go. Mailboxes on the foundation's own domain mean that when someone steps away, their emails and contacts stay with the organisation.
Our advice
Pick hosting that is affordable, looked after and easy to hand over between volunteers. A managed plan removes the technical worry so the team can stay focused on the people they serve.
