Diocesan Web Hosting

 

Free Web Hosting and site-creation tools for parishes and related organizations

The Episcopal Diocese of New York offers free state-of-the art web hosting* to its parishes, and to certain other related organizations. This hosting is well-suited both to those who live in horror of technology but still want to have a presentable and fully-functioning website, and to those who wish to push the technological envelope.

Parishes can transfer their existing sites to the new diocesan server, or they can start from scratch.
