What is FreeToastHost?
Free Toast Host is a Free
opportunity for any Toastmasters
club to have their own website hosted
as a
service sponsored by Toastmasters International.
Yes, absolutely Free! All
you have to do is ask.
FreeToastHost websites are available to any club that is registered
with Toastmasters International. Besides the fact it is free, some
other reasons you would want to do this include:
-
You get your own website (critical to your PR efforts!)
- You will have your own internet
address.
- You will have an administrators password to log on
and make
your own decisions on what should appear as content for your
pages.
- You will also have the option to choose to use
several
features that are designed specifically for a Toastmasters club.
- Your members (once you add them) will get their
own logon & password sent to them via email, for access to areas
exclusive to members
How does my club get their own site?
Visit the main website, http://www.freetoasthost.org/
and select the link to Request Your Free Site. Enter your club number,
name, and contact information. Once your request is submitted, a
generic site will be built just for you. You will get an email
when it is ready with instructions on how to log in.

your club's directions, membership information, and contact info etc
