Services

Everything your government needs to be official online

We do the paperwork and the technical work, so your staff doesn't have to become an IT department.

Domain and email

.gov domain registration

We confirm eligibility, prepare the authorization paperwork, and register your .gov with CISA or your state's program, then follow it through.

Official email

Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 with role-based mailboxes like clerk@ and treasurer@. We move your old email over.

DNS and email security

SPF, DKIM and DMARC records generated and checked, plus anti-spoofing protection from day one, so no one can send mail as you.

Websites

Website design

A clean, accessible website with meeting notices, agendas, minutes, contacts and forms that residents can find on their phones.

Website hosting

Fast, secure hosting on your .gov address with HTTPS included. We keep it online so you don't have to think about it.

Maintenance and support

Self-serve posting for agendas, minutes and notices, plus mailbox and DNS changes and a real person to call when something isn't working.

Who we serve

  • Fire and EMS districts
  • Sanitary and utility districts
  • Public libraries
  • Other special districts

How it works

Four steps, and we handle most of them

  1. Tell us what you need

    A short call or email about your organization, your current email, and your website.

  2. We handle the paperwork

    We prepare the authorization your officials sign and register your .gov domain.

  3. Email and security set up

    We configure DNS, set up your mailboxes, move your old email, and lock down spoofing.

  4. Website goes live

    We connect or build your website, then stay on call for updates and support if you want us.

Why .gov

Residents should know it's really you

.gov is only available to verified U.S. government organizations, so a .gov web address or email tells residents it's official.

Source: get.gov (CISA)

.gov domains are available at no cost to eligible U.S. government organizations through CISA. You pay us for the setup, not for the name.

Source: get.gov (CISA)

Free email accounts and look-alike domains are easy to impersonate. A .gov domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC makes it much harder to send mail pretending to be you.

Tell us about your organization

Domains, email, a new website, or all three. We'll tell you what's involved and what it costs.
