FAWCO provides a web hosting service at low cost for its member clubs. We strive to help FAWCO member clubs take advantage of current Internet technology to communicate better with current and prospective members, and the world.

FAWCO Member Clubs in good standing are eligible to participate in the FAWCO Web Hosting Program.

For a well-maintained website, it is essential that each club have solid local web support.  Website maintenance and/or design are not part of the FAWCO web hosting offer.  The FAWCO web team will address your enquiries to the best of its ability, and the Web Discussion forum on the FAWCO website is a good place to explore and ask questions about websites.

Hosting with FAWCO allows for continuity if your club chooses to have its domain name managed by FAWCO.  We will automatically renew your domain name yearly.
