It kind of works the other way, you can have a web host for FTH if you want your own domain name which can be linked to your FTH Site. If you don’t already have a domain name (which you would have to pay for on a regular basis), you might as well use your FTH site. FTH is well branded and known in the Toastmasters community. FTH is very flexible, you can set up an alias to call your site Helensburgh.toastmastersclubs.org which is more user friendly than the club number, and just a quick and easy setting that needs to be changed by your site admin.

FTH has all of the branding built in and you get plenty of extra functionality such as membership management with group email addresses, agendas and much more – it has been developed for Toastmasters by Toastmasters.

Sorry - I didn't put the link in in my initial reply about how to change the admin. :blink: Here it is:
support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/w...-no-longer-available

You can set up links to your social media sites on your FTH site :)

Hope this helps

I'd like to create a blog and have the post sent to facebook and twitter. Do you support this?

Would also like to upload / link to TM videos. Is this supported?

You should think of FTH (FreeToastHost) as a sort of Toastmasters website "toolbox". We do provide some pre-made features "out of the box" (e.g., agenda features), but it largely is a very flexible, open-ended system that allows for you to connect it to a number of external features and websites, also.

We don't have a pre-made blogging feature built in. We will probably not ever do that, anyway, since there are a lot of good blogging websites already on the internet and those can be linked into your FTH website. We can assist and advise you in connecting your FTH website to those external websites to extend what you can do with your FTH website. As another example, many clubs also link their FTH website to Google Drive for the apps or to Flickr to put a Flickr sourced photo slideshow on their home page.

I will not say that the "possibilities are endless" with FreeToastHost, but I will say that even I have been pleasantly surprised with what I have seen clubs and districts accomplish with the system, and I am the system developer.

Also, we are all Toastmasters like you, and also we are volunteers. FreeToastHost aligns itself with the Toastmasters branding, but FreeToastHost is not directly part of Toastmasters International--we are an independent, self-directed effort.
