Every year we contribute to a number of amazing non-profits and charities that help make the world a better place.
Causes We Support
Supporting Small
We prefer to support small, independent non-profits close to our customers’ hearts as they typically operate more efficiently and need all the help they can get.
Worldwide Help
From helping domestic violence victims in the UK to planting trees in sub-Saharan Africa, the causes we support are spread all across the world for maximum impact across all walks of life.
Powered By You
All our donations are funded from customer spend, so every time you buy or renew a hosting plan, you’re helping us take a small step towards changing the world for the better.
Supporting the WHO’s COVID-19 Response Fund
Since early 2020, we’ve supported the World Health Organization’s Covid-19 Fund via a recurring monthly donation.
