Hi,

One of the clubs I belong too (Website www.adelaidecity.org.au/) is now not responding. The error message is: We can’t connect to the server at www.adelaidecity.org.au.The other two Clubs, Synergy and Adelaide Central are fine. The question is, has this site been closed down ? Is there a request for an upgrade gone wrong ? The missing Club No. is:1078222.

Regards,

If a club member owns the domain it's DNS needs to be configured to work with FTH and it has to be added to the the club's admin console. support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/dns-settings-overview

Hi,
Would changing these setting make the website disappear ? It had been operating fine until now.
We now do not access to that page, so, if the settings were changed, they can not be changed.
Do we hold a log of such actions for each of the FTH websites ? As each is registered, a log would tell when such event took place, if such was actioned.
If the website has been lost, can a club apply for a replacement ?

Regards,

Peter

The Australian branch has tightened the criteria for its use. You now have to be a registered charity to use that domain and a toastmasters club does not normally fit that definition. So, although we have had that domain, other domains may have to be found. Stay tuned.

See support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/website-alias for details.

Pam Offline Administrator Posts: 3672 Thank you received: 1110	Interestingly, a recent query has a club using .org.au (support.toastmastersclubs.org/2011-10-23...e-inaccessible#94885). One of my clubs used to have a .org.au website, but we were advised many years ago (~2019) that it wouldn't be available to us after 2021. We moved to using an alias as Jane has suggested. It might still be available if you are an incorporated club
