Free Website Hosting For Schools
SchoolCare appreciates that schools budgets are limited and although website hosting usually has a small ongoing cost associated with it, we are able to help by offering free website hosting for schools. Schools are able to host their website with SchoolCare providing that the schools website is compatible with SchoolCares free website hosting for schools service. Our school website hosting service supports common website development platforms such as WordPress and Joomla. Depending on the size and complexity of the schools website SchoolCare might charge a one off migration fee. For more information about SchoolCares free website hosting for schools service please contact us and we will review the schools website for compatibility.
