Website & email hosting for groups
Gasda hosts your website and your mailboxes on your own domain, and handles the fiddly parts like DNS, HTTPS and spam settings. Your volunteers get to spend their time on the club, not the tech.

What we set up for you
An example setup for a club with its own domain
Who it’s for
If your website lives with whoever set it up years ago, and your club email is a shared password nobody remembers, this is for you.
Garden clubs, car clubs, choirs, makers. A home page, your news, and an address members recognize.
Schedules and season info in one place, and a contact address that stays put when the volunteers change.
Notices, minutes and a board address that can be handed from one board to the next.
Service times, newsletters, and email for staff and ministry leaders on your own name.
A credible website and email on your own domain, without needing a tech volunteer on call.
Professional addresses on your own domain and a website that someone else keeps running.
Addresses that outlast volunteers. When email lives on your own domain, treasurer@yourclub.org can be passed to the next treasurer, along with its history. No more chasing a former volunteer for a password.

Managed
Real mailboxes on your own domain, set up the way big mail services expect.

Your own server with root access, when you want full control.
How it works
Your part
Send us a short email: your group, your domain if you have one, and what you use today. Not sure what you need? Say so, and we’ll suggest something.
Website, mailboxes, DNS records and HTTPS. If you’re moving from another host, we plan the move with you.
Members open webmail in a browser or add the account to the mail app on their phone. We send you the settings they need.
We look after the servers and backups. When you need a change, a new mailbox or help, just email us.
Email that arrives
Gmail, Outlook and other big mail services check every message for proof that it really came from the domain it claims to. When that proof is missing, even an honest newsletter from your club can be sent to spam or turned away. The proof lives in three small records in your domain’s settings. You’ve probably never had to think about them, and with us you won’t have to. We set them up for you.
A public list of the servers allowed to send mail for your domain. Mail from anywhere else looks suspicious.
A digital signature on every message you send, so the receiving side can tell it really came from you and wasn’t changed along the way.
Tells receiving services what to do with mail that fails those checks, and asks them to send reports back, so problems and impostors can be spotted.
Honest note: nobody can promise that every message reaches every inbox. What you write and the recipient’s own settings matter too. But missing or broken records are a common reason a small group’s mail ends up in spam, and that part we handle and check for you.
Delivered to the inbox
For power users
Not everyone wants things managed. If you’d rather run your own stack, we’ll give you a virtual machine and get out of your way.

It depends on what your group needs: a website, email, or both, how many mailboxes, and how much setup help you want. Email us a few lines about your group and we’ll reply with a quote.
Yes, we help with that. Tell us who hosts your website and email today, and we’ll plan the move with you, including when to switch your domain over, so the change is as smooth as possible for your members.
You need a domain name, like yourclub.org, for your website and email addresses. If you already have one, we’ll work with it. If you don’t, we’ll help you get one set up.
Either way, we recommend the domain is registered in your group’s name, so it always stays yours.
Yes. Mailboxes work with standard IMAP and SMTP, which the built-in mail apps on iPhone and Android, Outlook, Thunderbird and most others support. Members can also read and send mail in a web browser with webmail. We send you the settings to share.
We set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC for your domain, the records big mail services check before trusting a message. That takes care of a common reason small groups’ mail gets filtered. Nobody can guarantee every message lands in every inbox, but your domain will be set up properly. More on how this works.
Tell us how hands-on you want to be and we’ll talk it through. If you want full control of your own server, that’s what our VMs are for: you get root access and run it your way.
