What does an Indian NGO website need from its hosting?
An NGO website needs a donation page that works on campaign day, downloadable annual reports, a volunteer sign-up form, backups that undo an accidental edit and a login that outlasts any single volunteer. The hosting matters less than keeping those five things working with little technical help.
- Donations: an Indian payment gateway with UPI, served over SSL, tested end to end before each campaign.
- Reports and proof: programme pages and PDF reports that show funders what their money achieved.
- Volunteer editing: a simple editor and a short page structure: Home, Programmes, Donate, Volunteer, Reports, Contact.
- Backups: daily copies so a deleted page comes back in minutes.
- Audit-ready billing: INR invoices with GST, payable from the organisation's own account.

Are free NGO hosting programmes worth it?
A free CSR hosting programme is worth taking if your NGO qualifies and its limits fit your site, but the cost is paperwork and lock-in rather than money. Indian providers that run such programmes typically ask for proof of registration, such as 12A or 80G certificates, a trust deed or Section 8 papers, and verify it over a day or two.
| Question | Free CSR programme | Paid plan |
|---|---|---|
| Who qualifies | Registered NGOs with documents | Any organisation or group |
| Resource limits | Often capped; some plugins blocked | Published per plan |
| Inactivity | Account may be suspended if it goes quiet | Runs while paid |
| Programme ends | Check the export and migration terms first | Not applicable |
Move off a free account when a campaign page times out, the account is suspended, a needed plugin is blocked or the programme closes. Unregistered groups usually do not qualify, so a paid plan is the simpler route for them.
How should an NGO set up WordPress for donations and volunteers?
Use a light WordPress theme, a donation plugin that supports an Indian gateway such as Razorpay with UPI, a form plugin for volunteer sign-ups and a private draft page where volunteers try changes first. Anyone comfortable with a word processor can maintain a site set up this way.
- Register a domain such as a .org (₹1,500 a year) or .org.in (₹809), before GST, in the organisation's name.
- Install WordPress and keep the page structure to six or seven pages.
- Add the donation gateway in test mode, make a test donation and confirm the receipt email, then switch to live.
- Give each volunteer their own Editor login, and remove it when they leave.
- Decide who applies updates: your team, or WebJi® through the managed layer.
Who should own an NGO's domain, hosting and gateway accounts?
The organisation, never an individual volunteer: register the domain, the hosting login and the payment gateway under the NGO's name and an email address the trustees control. Most lost NGO websites trace back to a volunteer who left with the only password.
Use a shared mailbox such as admin@yourngo.org on business email, keep renewal dates in the trustees' calendar and enable auto-renew. Existing sites move across through free migration, subject to terms and approval, and WebJi® email support at support@webji.services answers 24/7 in Hindi and English with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Does WebJi® give NGOs a discount?
There is no published NGO discount. NGOs pay the same listed prices as everyone else, such as ₹299 a month for Webji Launch before GST, and any current first-year offer is on the hosting coupons page. Larger builds are quoted by email before you pay.
Can an NGO claim GST input credit on hosting?
Only if the NGO is registered for GST and the hosting is used for taxable supplies; many charities are not GST-registered. Add your GSTIN to the billing account if you have one, and check the treatment with your accountant.
Should an NGO use .org or .in?
.org reads as non-profit to donors worldwide and costs ₹1,500 a year before GST; .org.in signals an Indian non-profit at ₹809. Many NGOs register both and redirect one to the other so neither can be taken by someone else.
Can WebJi® host a donation page with UPI?
Yes. Donation plugins with Indian gateway support run on the shared and managed WordPress plans over SSL, with UPI settled by the gateway. Keep the gateway account in the NGO's name and separate from the hosting login.
