We have built this website (actually, this is the second time) and host it ourselves through HostGator. Our plan through them allows us to host as many sites as we desire, so we offer our services to build and/or host websites for churches of Christ who do not yet have one.
We do not charge for either, but only ask that they pay for domain purchase and renewal, and any website security costs that we may endure (some were hacked before we started doing this.) I recommend not purchasing this until it proves necessary, as we now install a free security plugin at the beginning. We will be monitoring this to see if it keeps the jackers away.
Let’s face it, if there is no website in the 21st century, the entity might as well not exist- church, business, or otherwise. If people cannot find you on a web search, they probably will not find you. We want these congregations to be findable.
As of April 2024, we maintain and host websites for five local congregations: the church of Christ Guam here in Ipan; Gautier church of Christ in Gautier, MS; Liberty church of Christ in Defuniak Springs, FL; Twin City church of Christ in Batesburg-Leesville, SC; Vancleave church of Christ in Vancleave, MS.
If your congregation needs a website, feel free to reach out to us. We can do as much of it as you want, and host it for you for free. The only costs will be domain name purchase and yearly renewing, and for website security if that is needed. There is no sense in you paying for hosting when we already do. I also will serve as webmaster for your site, unless you have someone who would be willing and able to do it. I honestly would prefer that you do that part, if possible.
