Information Technology Services

Website hosting

The Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) Information Technology (IT) department can host websites for LCA agencies and congregations.

Hosting is a service that allows you to have a website on the internet. We can provide a space in which you can do this. Agency and congregation websites are stored on an LCA managed server in Australia.

This service is available to all LCA agencies and congregations.

Domain name registration

LCA IT offers domain name registrations.

Subject to the approval of your proposed name, we will register your domain name on your behalf. If you already have a domain, you can transfer the domain to LCA IT and you pay the lower renewal fee the LCA have negotiated.

Domain Name System (DNS) hosting

DNS hosting is another service we are offering to LCA agencies and congregations.

You can either use a management console or have LCA IT manage it for you. Fees may apply.

LCA email accounts

LCA email accounts are issued to all pastors, lay workers, staff paid on the LCA Human Resource System (HRS), volunteers registered on HRS, and all other users with LCA resources access.

You can use the LCA domain or you can bring your own domain. You can use your LCA email address to login to the LCA Portal (one of the small-print navigation items at the top right of the LCA website). Inside the portal you have access to a wide range of online services, including cloud storage and document tools.
