Canadian association hosting

Canadian hosting for associations

Host news, events and membership information. Keep account access and renewals documented as volunteers and committee members change.

Community hosting

Check eligibility before paying for hosting.

A nonprofit or association is not automatically eligible for free hosting just because it is incorporated or member-based. DotMoose keeps the three application paths separate so the evidence and approval rules stay clear.

CRA

Registered charities

Organizations with current Registered status in the CRA List of Charities use the charity program. Check charity eligibility →

VOL

Other volunteer-led organizations

Other legitimate Canadian organizations must be materially volunteer-led, community-serving and independently verifiable to use the volunteer application path. Check volunteer eligibility →

Your requirements

What does your project need?

01

Website and applications

List the pages, forms, email accounts and applications included in the project. Note what will stay with another provider.

02

Software and resource needs

Check member information, event pages, administrator roles and handover when volunteers change.

03

Account access and renewals

Record who owns the domain and hosting account, pays renewals and approves changes. Use individual logins where supported, and keep recovery access available to the owner.

04

Backup and handover

List the files, databases and mailboxes that need a backup. Agree who checks restores and who hands over access when a staff member or supplier leaves.

Planning

Access, backups and handover

Use role-based access where supported and retain recovery contacts as volunteers or committee members change.
