Who qualifies for the free web space offer?

The basic qualification for free web space is:

• that your organisation must be in the public or voluntary sectors

• that it is either based in, or provides services for the county of Hampshire.

This definition includes, but is not limited to, parish, town and district councils, public-sector schools including GM-status schools, hospitals, NHS trusts and health authorities, most voluntary organisations and registered charities. Some non-commercial clubs and societies providing services to the community may qualify.

Commercial companies that provide public services in Hampshire on behalf of a public body (for example, services contracted out by a local authority) may qualify, but only for the provision of information about their public services.

Private individuals, wholly commercial companies, pressure groups and party political bodies do not qualify.

NB: If you are a Hampshire County Council department, business unit or collaborative project where Hampshire County Council is the major funder your web pages must be part of Hantsweb. Our web space offers do not apply to you.

Town and Parish Councils

If you are a Town or Parish Council, please see the  Towns, Parish and Communities Website Service pages for details of a service that has been developed specifically to your meet your requirements

Hampshire Schools

If you are a school, there is a Schools Website Service, which provides an easy-to-use template-based system, helping you produce and maintain a professional-looking website without the need for any web design skills. It is an alternative to our standard web hosting service, and is available to schools that have an Internet services contract with Hampshire County Council, but who don't yet have a website.
