The City of Lufkin is now providing free web hosting for selected nonprofit organizations that provide civic services and information to the citizens of Lufkin and Angelina County.

The web hosting will be on a space available basis and resides on a web server in City Hall.  The organization must request the hosting service and provide details as to information and services provided.  The request will be reviewed to ensure that it is appropriate.  The organization will be responsible for purchasing domain names, and publishing content to the site.   The use of FrontPage is required and FTP is no longer supported.  The City of Lufkin will configure the site on the server free of charge.  This service is available now and will provide fast, high quality, banner free websites for deserving organizations.  Interested organizations should request the hosting service from the Webmaster.  The webmaster will process the request and notify the requesting organization as to approval.  The City of Lufkin reserves the right to terminate this service if the site contains any objectionable or commercial material.

All websites must be commercial free and "Under Construction" websites are not allowed.  Websites will only be hosted when the content is available.  Selected pages can be "under construction" but not the whole site.

The City is now hosting over 30 non-profit sites.  These sites all perform a service to the citizens of Lufkin and Angelina County.  The organizations are listed on the sidebar with links to their sites.

We have recently upgraded the server which hosts the sites.  The sites are virus protected and will support streaming video.
