Save the Date: Reclaim Open returns
Get your diary out and save the date, because come November you will be attending a very special event: Reclaim Open returns, November 3-7! The theme of this year’s conference is still under wraps, but if you’ve been paying attention to what’s happening across our community this year, then you’ll be right in assuming that this year’s event will be a call to action to make your voice heard on the open web.
Register for conference updates and be the first to hear about this year's themes, call for proposals and registration.
Reclaim supports Independent EdTech
For over a decade we have operated as a small, independent company supporting open and independent educational technology. If you are currently considering options outside of large corporate offerings or are looking to move servers in the US, UK, Europe or Canada, we're here to help and this quick explainer offers some starting points.
Support and Services Updates

Complete our email survey and help us improve our services
If you have a Shared Hosting account we invite you to complete a survey from us about if and how you make use of email via cPanel. Please complete the survey and share your feedback with us to help improve our services. There is no need to take action if you haven't received the feedback and we won't be making any changes to any of our email services without letting you know beforehand.
Renewing Shared Hosting Services becomes easier with auto-renewals
Another improvement to our Shared Hosting service this summer will make renewing your domain even easier as we introduce auto-renewals. This handy new feature will ensure that your domain doesn't expire and your website remains available without interruption when renewals fall due. You'll see these updates when you log-in to your Reclaim Hosting Client Area under Billing > Payment Methods from June.
Any questions? We're happy to help. Contact us for help & support via our support portal, or email sales@reclaimhosting.com.
