A .gov.uk domain for council business is a sign of professionalism, security, and trust. While not mandatory, it reflects best practices recommended in Section 5.213 of the 2024 Practitioners' Guide. Councils with .gov.uk domains benefit from:
For councils with a precept of around £30k, Active Council offers a .gov.uk domain and email setup, in line with best practices outlined in the Practitioners' Guide. The Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) provides £100 + VAT funding, covering the first year’s costs, making the offer free for the first year.
The domain will be submitted to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) for ongoing monitoring against cyber threats.
This offer is ideal for smaller parish councils, particularly those with a precept around £30k, looking to enhance their online presence and adopt best practices for council communications.
Active Council provides end-to-end digital solutions for councils, including .gov.uk domain management, user-friendly websites, Office 365 email solutions, and cloud storage via OneDrive. We're dedicated to ensuring councils meet compliance standards while maintaining simplicity and ease of use.
