Churches

Websites for churches.

A family thinking about visiting looks up your service times first, and members at home on Sunday morning look for the stream. We look after the livestream and the giving page so they work when people tune in, and the site no longer depends on the one volunteer who built it.

What we look after

What a church website has to do.

Show the service times

A first-time visitor wants the times, the address and where to park on the home page. We change them when you add or move a service.

Carry the livestream

Most churches stream on YouTube, Facebook or Vimeo. We embed the stream and past sermons so they play from those services, which keeps your own pages fast.

Take giving online

Giving runs through Tithe.ly, Planning Center or Pushpay, which handle the payments. We link or embed the giving page and check it after every update.

Keep the calendar current

Small groups and special services fill the calendar. On Managed + Website, the church office emails us the events and we post them.

Not depend on one volunteer

Church sites tend to be built by a member who later moves away. We write down how yours works and hold the logins, so the next person isn't starting from nothing.

Send email that arrives

Newsletters and prayer list emails come from your domain. We set up its mail records so they reach members instead of spam.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The member who built the site moved away, and nobody else has the login.
  • The service times on the website are from before we added a second service.
  • The livestream embed broke, and people at home couldn't find the service on Sunday morning.
  • The giving button went to an old page after we switched giving providers.
A note from Ryan

The first visit starts online

When I look at a church site, I check the service times against the bulletin and press play on last Sunday's stream. Those are the two things a visitor and a member at home need, and they're the two I find out of date or broken most often. Then I ask who has the login, because the answer is usually someone who moved away.

Is your giving page ready for Sunday?

Send us the address and we'll check the giving link, the livestream and the service times the way a first-time visitor sees them.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. We embed it from YouTube, Facebook or Vimeo, so the video plays from their servers and your site stays fast, and past sermons can have a page of their own.

The giving itself runs on the service you use, which handles the payments. We put it on the site where people look for it, and if you switch providers, we change every link to the new one.

That's what Managed + Website is for. We build the new site and host it, and the church office emails us sermon pages and events instead of anyone having to learn WordPress.

Yes. Staff and volunteers keep editing the calendar and pages the way they do now. We look after the updates, backups and security, so none of that depends on whoever happens to know the password.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.
Cindy S.
Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
