Parish council website hosting
Enterprise hosting, without the upkeep
Parish Council Pigeon is a service from ThenMedia, the web company behind it, and every council website is built on the same professional hosting infrastructure, whatever package your council is on. It is fast, secure and monitored around the clock, and none of it is for your council to manage. There are no servers to rent, no software to patch and no backups to remember.
Kept online, and kept safe
Your website is spread across more than one data centre, so a problem in a single location does not take it offline. Connections are protected with strong 256-bit encryption, security updates are applied for you, and your data is handled in line with GDPR. A full copy of your site and its content is taken every day, with a tested recovery process behind it, so nothing important is ever one mistake or one outage away from being lost.
Backed by renewable energy
The infrastructure behind your site has matched all of its electricity with renewable energy purchases every year since 2017. The data centres we use are located in London and are on a clear path toward 24/7 carbon-free energy, and we actively choose lower-carbon hosting regions for our clients, delivering the same reliability and security with a smaller environmental footprint.
A smaller footprint by design
Our team works entirely from home, which means no daily commutes and no office to light, heat and power. Combined with cleaner hosting, it keeps the running cost of your website low in every sense. For a parish council that has to account for how public money is spent, a supplier that keeps things efficient is worth having.

Low-carbon
regions
We choose lower-carbon hosting regions, so your site keeps the same speed and security with a smaller footprint.
Secure as
standard
Every website is served over a strong 256-bit encrypted connection, with security updates applied for you and data handled in line with GDPR.
Backed up
for you
Your website and its content are backed up every day, with a tested recovery process, which makes losing anything important very unlikely. As with any hosting, backups cannot be guaranteed.
Included in every package
Hosting, security and regular backups are part of the price on both the Classic and Community packages. Like every hosting provider, we cannot guarantee that a backup will always be available, but our systems are designed to make losing anything very unlikely. There is nothing extra to buy and nothing for your council to set up.
