I am my own Hosting Provider.
I run many websites, both for YWAM and Business Customers.
I have built my own Apache Webhosting Server inside Google’s Data Center.
- Google Data Center
- -> Linux
- -> Centos
- -> Webhost Manager (WHM)
- -> Cpanel
- -> WordPress
- -> Divi.
These websites are not exclusive to YWAM; I am also working with various people and groups to advance the Kingdom of God.
A Free Period.
I can offer YWAM and Staff a website free of charge because I own the server.
Therefore, during this initial free period, let’s bring your website up to speed for your needs.
I want to work with you to make this website a viable ministry point for you or your YWAM base.
Let’s book some time, one-on-one.
I have set apart this time for you, it is part of my weekly schedule to ensure you get a good website.
We also appreciate that even this cost may be too much for some people starting out. If that is the case, we do require that you take on training so we can get you to a place where you website is paying for it’s self, either for you or for your base.
Pricing Structure.
I desire to help people make the most of the technology available to them, so we are working on a cost structure depending on the nation you are from/in and if the website is personal or for a base.

My vision is that you get to develop your website to be a viable part of your ministry before any cost is incurred.
That we get your website working to:
- create a vision
- create prayer partners
- create ministry partners
- create new staff and students
- and create people that want to buy into your vision.

Paid For Plugins.
We have paid for plugins that we find useful. Often, we have paid for a plugin so that we can offer it to you for free, but not always.
Divi is an example of this. We purchased a site-wide license a number of years ago for around $250.00, but now we can offer it to you for free, so you never have to buy a Theme or some other Template Builder.
We also buy other plugins, like Really Good SSL, in bulk and pass the savings on to you. A single license is $49.99 a year.
Or we can buy Fastest WP Caching in bulk, which is generally $50, and offer you a discount.

Important Consideration
I have been hosting websites for over fifteen years.
I have been running Servers inside Google for over ten years.
From time to time, I have had to upgrade my servers to meet the needs of my biggest customers.
If you become one of these customers, which I hope you do, I may need to charge you extra for these extra resources.
Wouldn't that be a good thing? You are doing so much in the Tecnical world for the Gospel of Jesus Christ that you need extra power to keep doing this!
At this point I would never interested to partner with you to find out what your secrets are so we can share this with other YWAM bases.
