Not For Profit Web Hosting Services


What is a Web Hosting Cooperative?

It an alternative to commercial sites who charge exorbitant service fees.

We offer shoe-string budget organisations and Non-Profit Organisations  an affordable Web & Email portal to the Internet!

To help our members, we offer yearly blocks of server space and bandwidth.

This is the Nightwalker Project.

We lease blocks of bandwidth and cooperatively share it and the cost between  groups, 

retaining a small margin for operating expenses.

Inexpensive Web Hosting?

What's the deal? Simple really.

Commercial Web hosting costs too much money.

Members of this cooperative have low bandwidth needs and shoe-string budgets.

Thus we have banded together to survive!.


What does it Cost?

All our members pay a one-time, yearly membership fee of $45 per year.

What do I get for my money?
You get 10 meg of hosting space, 10 email addresses (pop3) & 500 meg traffic (Bandwidth).

The only extra is bandwidth - if your site becomes wildly popular. Bandwidth is a reasonable cost, 

and we can quote you a cheap price for that!

You don't have to be a Web Guru, either. Most of our members are non-for-profit organisations, 

with little or no web design experience.

Our goal is to offer low-cost services and instruction to help you grow.

Why not give it a go?

Do you just require Email services?

A personal e-mail address that you'll
never have to change again!
Our Email Service is an Australian-based service which, for just
$8.95 a year,
gives you an exclusive personal e-mail address that's yours to keep as long as you need!
If any of these apply to you ...

"I want an e-mail address...

  • that I can keep as long as I want, even when I change ISP.
  • that's short and easy for my friends to remember.
  • that's more personal.
  • that's mine, not my ISP's!

... then our Email Service is the answer!

You can now get a cool e-mail address which is yours and not your service provider's. 

messages sent to your Email address are instantly diverted to up to four other e-mail addresses simultaneously, 

such as the address provided by your current ISP or at work.

If you change ISP or your work, all we do is change your diversions: your E-mail address will always stay the same!

Also, because we have such a large range of domain names available, 

if your chosen e-mail address is unavailable in one domain, it will almost certainly be available on another, 

unlike many web based e-mail providers which need you to add meaningless numbers to your address to make it unique. 

So you can choose an address that is really personal to you!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost and how do I pay?

The service costs just $8.95 per year - that's about 17 cents a week! (No GST)

You can pay for the service by online secure credit card payment (PayPal), direct bank deposit, postal order. 

Some people have asked us why we charge for this service. It is because we feel that the quality of service is the most important issue. 

We use high quality Unix based servers  to provide a service that is extremely reliable and quick,

and we would rather give subscribers a premium quality service for a med annual fee than a service that is slow and unreliable. 

How does it work?

You sign up with the service and choose a e-mail address (see later for what addresses you can choose).

Once your account is active, all e-mail sent to your e-mail address will be forwarded to whatever "real" e-mail address you choose. 

This could be your current home e-mail address, a work e-mail address, or both.

You can then let your contacts, friends and relatives know your e-mail address, and they can start sending you messages.

Does it work with Windows and Mac?

Yes. You can use the service with any computer that can send and receive e-mails, 

so that includes all the Windows and Mac operating systems, Linux, Unix and any other. 

Where is the service based?

The servers it uses to provide the service are based here in Australia, Singapore and the USA.

What if I change my "real" e-mail address?

If you ever need to change your "real" e-mail address, for example, because you change jobs or change your Internet Service Provider (ISP),

all you have to do is let us know via email, and we will change your account to forward messages sent to your  e-mail address to your new "real" e-mail address. 

Your e-mail address always stays the same and you'll never have to send out "change of e-mail" messages ever again! 

What e-mail addresses can I choose?

You may choose any combination of lowercase letters, numbers, full stops, dashes (-) or underscores (_) (but no spaces) to go before the "@" sign, 

so long as that combination hasn't been taken already. You then choose one of a number of different domains (the bit after the "@" sign), 

and new ones will be added regularly.

Is it private?

Yes. All the forwarding of messages is entirely automated, with no human intervention either by us or anyone else. 

Your messages cannot be intercepted or read by us or anyone else. 

Can I have mail forwarded to more than one address?

Yes. You can specify up to four diversion addresses to which your messages will be sent simultaneously. 

So you can receive your messages at work or at home, at both, or wherever you like!

Can I send messages through this Email service?

No. The service is for incoming messages only, and you will continue to send your e-mails through your existing ISP.

However, by modifying the preferences in your e-mail program, such as Outlook, you can make e-mails that you send appear to come from your e-mail address, 

so no-one will need to see your "real" e-mail address again. 

Can people still send me messages to my "real" e-mail?

Yes. Your "real" e-mail address(es) stay exactly the same. 

So people who don't yet know your service e-mail address can still send you messages as normal. 

If you have any other questions about the service or you wish to signup.
