Why Club Websites?

Out with his favorite riding buddy

We simply wished to provide a low cost, feature rich solution for Clubs, Teams, and associations. Having a deep background in internet marketing, website hosting services, web and application development – our Clubs often volunteered us to maintain websites. Our founder used his Experience providing hosting to tens of thousands of business and personal websites to build a framework to meet the needs that weren’t being met by other providers.

Many of the clubs we volunteered in were paying $450+ a year, and did not benefit for such a drastic expense.

 

ClubHosting solves common problems many have

After talking with hundreds of clubs every year, almost all experienced the same four primary concerns. Chances are your organization my also have one (or all) of these issues.

  • Club Websites Hard to Keep Updated and Usually Maintained by Just One Person
  • It wasn’t easy for Multiple Club Officers to Share the Workload
  • Events were hard to Share and get notices out quickly
  • It wasn’t Exactly Easy for people to join the Club

Simply put, so many clubs used outdated services that are hard to maintain and aren’t built for modern devices. This means poor formatted sites, that aren’t easy enough to maintain, and fall into disrepair. Many clubs either had a person volunteer to setup site, but then got stuck with an HTML pig; or used Websites Tonight to setup one. So either the site looks bad because its not maintained frequently enough; or a site looks awful because, surprisingly, the person who set it up isn’t a web designer.

This Sounds good, but who the Heck are We??

That is a very important question. While there are not many services in our industry, you should intimately know who is backing it.

Nick

ClubHosting was a pet project put together by Nick who wanted to service the 4 clubs he was a member of (and others in the community). He quickly built a platform other clubs could use for a very low price. Setup all the security and structure needed, then handed it off to Niles.

Niles

It’s supported primarily by Niles primarily spends his day in a marketing firm, where he setups hundreds of servers, thousands of domains, and sets up 100 HTML campaigns weekly. Niles provides sales, support, and custom setups for clubs.

Occassionally we also pickup a local college student or two during our busy seasons.

How can 2 Guys Just Support It?

That’s the truth of tech. You can build it once, and it can last with minimal effort.

We have reliable data centers that cover our hardware, and leverage known resources like AWS (Amazon Web Services) to serve our sites, store our data, and help with backups.

 

You pay enough to get you exactly what you need.
