SCOUTS New Zealand National Website lives elsewhere.

What is this place then?

This is a site for Scout Groups or Zones in New Zealand wanting their own Websites.

A lot of groups have been going online recently, mine amongst them, and I for one find it quite nasty trying to remember all the addresses of free web hosts where the groups are currently stuck (or worse: changing between). So, when I found that this domain was available I took the opportunity to take it up for my scout group and any others that wish to join us. What I am offering is a subdomain off the main one: ie. yourgroup.scouting.org.nz

UPDATE: Aug 2006: With the whole New Scouting objective, this could help with any groups advertising and promotional plans. Having a website that looks and sounds Scouting from the browser address bar down.

The Offer:

Free WebHop to your Group or Zone homepages. That is a redirection from the name yourgroup.scouting.org.nz to homepages.hosting.com/~your-group/ or wherever your website is actually.
Keep your current free host. Publish a proper scouting name, and even move the website in future without needing to tell everyone about the change.

Free DNS for the yourgroup.scouting.org.nz subdomain. Full DNS Control. If you don't know what this is you will probably not find it useful ... yet. But if you are planning on email or any other advanced web stuff, it could be very helpful.

Just send an email to webmaster@scouting.org.nz let me know you want either of the above and it's yours!

Since I do hosting as my day job, I can also provide website hosting and email. There is a cost for that of $5 for each GB of Internet used.

Hosted Scout websites now come with a scout-designed Photo Gallery System
