2020Media
What does 2020Media offer?

2020Media is a well established (founded in 1999), UK based, web hosting company. We specialise in offering hosting support for open source applications like CiviCRM (and it's parent framework Drupal or Joomla). This means rather than just getting an off the shelf install of CiviCRM without any support, 2020Media offers a customised install of the software, setup and initial configuration all free of charge with any hosting plan. We take time to understand what our clients wants from CiviCRM and advise on the best way of implementing their organisational goals.

Pricing

CiviCRM is available free of charge, installed and working, on any of 2020Media's hosting plans. This means the monthly cost can be as low as £3.75+vat (£45+vat/year), well within the reach of almost all organisations. Because of the amount of data generated in CiviCRM, our recommended hosting plan is 'Everyday'. Pricing for Everyday is just £9.99+vat/month.

Elifarley Proposal
CoralCDN - p2p, voluntary content distribution network. Some countries disallow CorAL (Saudi Arabia, Iran), SO WE ARE CONFIGURING OUR SERVER TO GO DRECTLY TO OUR HOST, NOT CDN.
