Expert Managed Web Hosting Services for Nonprofits

From server setup to ongoing maintenance, we’ve got it covered

Giant Rabbit offers managed hosting for nonprofits using Drupal, Backdrop CMS, WordPress, CiviCRM, and other applications, with a dedicated server hand-tuned to your specific needs. We provide comprehensive server maintenance and disaster recovery, so you never need to worry about site updates or backups.

Your infrastructure should belong to you

It’s a core Giant Rabbit value that our clients own their own digital assets directly. With our distributed infrastructure, you’ll create and own your own AWS or DigitalOcean account, and delegate access to us so we can configure and manage your Ubuntu server for you. Our Ansible scripts allow us to maintain your server and websites efficiently and effectively.

Most web hosting for nonprofits works the other way: your site lives on a server owned by your vendor, often intermingled with their other clients. Or, your site’s on a third-party host that adds a layer of middleware between you and your server setup, which means you need to deal with limited administrative controls and service-tier upselling, instead of direct control over key technical settings like caching, memory allocation, file permissions, and more. With our unique distributed infrastructure, we set things up differently from day one because we think your assets should stay yours. 

We’ll scale your site and keep it running

Most websites run well on a single server, but when your organization is preparing for a major fundraising campaign, a media moment, or a large membership drive, you need to know your infrastructure can handle it. We can scale your setup to be as robust as it needs to be, spanning multiple servers across different regions with load balancing if necessary. We monitor your uptime and tune your configuration until it performs the way you need it to.
