Every branch of the East Kingdom is eligible for free hosting for their web site within the eastkingdom.org domain.

How do I get server space for my local group on eastkingdom.org?

Any official Local branch or Royal Guild is eligible, provided that the web site conforms to the requirements of an officially recognized web page and has a warranted Webminister. .

To begin the process of getting your server space, please use the Help Desk website to request the space, or just email the East Kingdom Webminister with your request and we will begin setting up your site.

What are the advantages of being an officially recognized web site?

Your group is eligible for free hosting at groupname.eastkingdom.org. This free hosting includes a sub-domain name appropriate to your local group, with direct FTP access if needed.

Only recognized branch websites will be linked from the Local Groups page of the East Kingdom website.

Does that mean you will only link to officially recognized web sites from the Kingdom web site?

Yes and no. Only officially recognized websites can be linked from the Local Groups page of the East Kingdom website. However, groups with non-recognized websites can still be linked from the general links page.
