FreeToastHost

What is FreeToastHost?

Free Toast Host is a free opportunity for any Toastmasters club to have their own website Hosted as a service sponsored by Toastmasters International.  

Yes, absolutely Free! All you have to do is ask. 
FreeToastHost websites are available to any club that is registered with Toastmasters International. Besides the fact it is free, some other reasons you would want to do this include:

  • You get your very own website (critical to your PR efforts!)
  • You will have an administrator's password to log on and make your own decisions on what should appear as content for your pages
  • You will have the option to choose additional features designed specifically for a Toastmasters club
  • Your members (once you add them) will have their own logon and
    password for access to members-exclusive areas of your site

What's in it for me?

  • Unique internet website address where you can promote your club and attract new members by describing your unique club culture
  • Easy to use navigation for your visitors to select pages about your club's directions, membership information, and contact info etc
  • Ability to add calendar entries and answers to your Frequently Asked Questions.
  • Ability to add documents for distribution and viewing through your website, such as templates or newsletters.
  • Private members-only features include an email distribution list for consistent communication, document repository, discussion forums.
  • A duty-roster that can be used to establish your meeting agenda and roles.

How does my club get their own site?

Visit the main website, http://freetoasthost.org/ and select the link to Request Your Free Site. Enter your club number, name, and contact information.  Once your request is submitted, a generic site will be built just for you.  You will get an email when it is ready with instructions on how to log in.
