What is this?
FellowSites is a co-operative web hosting provider affectionately dubbed a “fellowship of websites.” It started in 2003 when a small group of friends pooled their resources to lower their monthly hosting costs.
We’ve since grown into our own dedicated server, making it possible for us to offer better services at even lower costs.
A revolutionary hosting model
We’re completely unlike any host you’ve seen before. We don’t limit you to choosing package A or package B — we let you make your own hosting plan. What’s more, we’re not trying to make any money here, so we pass the wholesale price right along to you. FellowSites only makes enough money each year to break even.
Note that, though FellowSites is a not-for-profit co-operative, we are not a registered non-profit organization. As such, donations and payments to FellowSites are not tax-deductible. When we say “not-for-profit” we simply mean we’re not pocketing any of the money from this endeavor. Any excess funds (and there are rarely any) get recycled back into maintaining and improving our services.

A few of our fellows
Since we’re more of a club than a company, we call our clients “fellows.” Here’s a handful of them:
- βλόγος, a blog
- Homestar Runner Wiki, a Homestar Runner fan site
- The River Project, a marine science field station
