OBHost believes technology should serve every cause. We provide complimentary first-year hosting to verified non-profit organizations, NGOs, charities, religious institutions, and humanitarian groups worldwide. So you can focus on your mission, not your server bills.
Our program supports verified, registered organizations across many sectors. If your organization fits any of these categories and is legally registered, you can apply.
Non-governmental organizations operating in social welfare, development, advocacy, or community service with valid government registration.
Mosques, churches, temples, gurdwaras, synagogues, and faith-based community centers serving public welfare and religious education.
Registered charitable trusts, foundations, and grant-making bodies focused on public benefit and social impact.
Organizations providing disaster relief, refugee support, emergency response, food security, and humanitarian intervention.
Non-profit schools, literacy programs, scholarship organizations, and free education initiatives serving underprivileged communities.
Free clinics, blood banks, mental health charities, public health campaigns, and medical aid organizations.
Conservation bodies, climate action organizations, wildlife protection charities, and sustainability initiatives.
Community development bodies, neighborhood associations, youth groups, and women empowerment organizations.
Animal rescue shelters, veterinary aid organizations, and wildlife rehabilitation centers protecting animal rights.
Commercial businesses, political parties or campaigns, individual fundraising pages, unregistered organizations, and entities without verifiable non-profit status do not qualify. We also do not approve organizations involved in hate speech, discrimination, or activities that violate our Terms of Service.
