1) Active clubs get a FTH website by request, *not* by default. Your club had to request a FTH website at some time in the past.
2) You do not need a custom domain to use your FTH website. You can access your website *now* by using your club number as follows:
Code:
https://3259.toastmastersclubs.org
Click here:
3259.toastmastersclubs.org
3) Some clubs *choose* to get a custom domain to provide a distinctive URL. Those clubs must pay a custom domain registrar to register the domain for use for some period of time. We *do not* do anything with that... we just support the use of a custom domain that a club has already registered and paid for elsewhere. We also provide a free HTTPS cert for those custom domains. (Again, your club must handle the registration and renewals of a custom domain name.)
4) You can get the domain registration details via a WHOIS look up.
