Toastmost.org is a Toastmasters website hosting service based on WordPress. You are invited to sign up for a 3-month free trial and see what a full-featured platform for digital marketing and recruiting can do for your club and district. If you are achieving your goals with your club website and decide to keep it, a subscription costs US $5.25 per month or $60 per year for basic membership. (If you represent a district, see the district websites page).
Use Toastmost to:
- Create richer, deeper website content that ranks better in search engines and tells visitors why they should come to your club and consider joining.
- Encourage members to sign up for meeting roles via the website, email, or the Toastmost mobile app (see video).
- Take advantage of online processes for enrolling members, collecting dues, giving evaluations, voting on awards, and conducting contests.
NEW: Try the mobile app
If you’re switching (or considering switching) from FreeToastHost, you can import content from your old website into WordPress.
Toastmasters Website Setup
Ready to get started?
If you have a password, visit the website signup page. Your password for any club or district site in the Toastmost network will work for setting up a new site. Your toastmasters.org or toastmastersclubs.org (Free Toast Host) password will not work for this purpose.
If you tested the mobile app with demo.toastmost.org, you have an account but will need to set your website password.
If you are new to Toastmost, please complete the form below. You will receive an email asking for your confirmation.
If you have trouble with the email signup process, please write to david@toastmost.org and include “Requesting a Toastmost password” in the subject line.
By creating a club website, you agree to be added to the WordPress for Toastmasters email list.
Design Freedom
With Toastmost, you can pick from one of several professional quality WordPress themes (design templates). Each of these themes is based on an official WordPress.org reference design and provides many options for customization. Switch between them until you find the one that represents your club or district best.

How Toastmost Club Websites Work
Setting up your site here requires less technical expertise than configuring the software on your own. Your new site will initially be “unpublished” (not advertised in search engines), giving you time to add content and share it privately with other club leaders before going live.
The registration process is:
- Sign up for the WordPress for Toastmasters email list (if you haven’t already)
- Verify your membership on the email list using the form above (or by clicking on the link in the mailing list confirmation message).
- Create your club website and a toastmost.org user account. You will be the site administrator.
If you already have a toastmost.org user account, you can log in with your password and skip to step #3.
Toastmost.org club websites are free for three months, which should be enough time to figure out if the software makes sense for your club. If you are achieving your goals with your club website and decide to keep it, an annual subscription is $50 USD for the basic membership.
The Fine Print
Toastmost incorporates the free, open source software from the WordPress for Toastmasters project. The WordPress for Toastmasters software itself is available at no cost and will run on any web hosting service that supports WordPress (details). You can also use the toastmost.org free trial for testing, prior to setting up the software elsewhere.
Toastmost has the advantage of offering a pre-configured version of the software, plus hosted services like email discussion lists.
This service is offered “for Toastmasters” but is not provided by or endorsed by Toastmasters International. However, Toastmasters International has reviewed our use of the Toastmasters brand and the structure of this service.
Toastmost.org hosting plans are managed by Carr Communications Inc, the consulting company of David F. Carr, DTM. Fees collected help cover the costs of operating this service. Donations and sponsor advertisements also help pay the bills.
