This plan consolidates domain management, collaboration tools, and website hosting under a coherent, secure, and cost-effective stack. Each phase builds sequentially on the previous one to ensure a smooth transition with zero downtime.

Phase 1: Domain Migration to Cloudflare

Migrate the club domain from Forpsi to Cloudflare for improved DNS management, security, and cost. Benefits include:

• Renewal at wholesale/at-cost pricing, removing registrar markups.
• Powerful DNS dashboard for managing records (MX, TXT, CNAME, etc.) easily.
• Free SSL/TLS certificates and automatic HTTPS enforcement.
• DDoS protection and Web Application Firewall on Cloudflare's free tier.
• Prerequisite step before connecting a custom domain to Google Sites.

Phase 2: Google Workspace for Nonprofits

Register the club for Google Workspace for Nonprofits. This grants the club free access to Google Workspace Business Standard tools to improve collaboration, including:

• Custom professional email addresses (e.g. president@rcbudapestcity.com).
• Google Drive with Shared Drives and folder-level access control based on officer roles.
• Google Meet, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
• Google Sites integration for Phase 3.
• Admin Console for centralized user management and permissions.

Phase 3: Launching the Website on Google Sites

Build and launch the club website on Google Sites, hosted at zero additional cost within the Google Workspace account. It requires no coding, updates automatically, and integrates with our Calendar, Forms, and Maps.

• Home: Welcome message, rotating banner, next meeting details.
• About Us: Club history, mission, current board.
• Projects: Active and completed service projects.
