A sports association picks ALL-INKL: generous plan, low price, "everything unlimited". The treasurer leaves, taking the shared FTP password. The replacement creates an account — and accidentally deletes wp-content. No tested backup. The association learns unlimited does not include governance .
ALL-INKL suits associations — if organisation comes before uploading the first logo.
ALL-INKL in an association context
ALL-INKL — German shared/VPS host, KAS panel, excellent resources/price, DE data centre. Good for brochure sites, internal wiki, small member shop.
| Association risk | Without framework | With framework |
|---|---|---|
| Volunteer turnover | Orphan access | Named accounts + revocation |
| Single password | Leak, loss | Password vault |
| Delete mistake | Dead site | Tested backup restore |
| Member data | Public Excel files | Protected hosting, GDPR |
KAS panel centralises everything — whoever holds the master password holds the association .
Governance checklist
- ALL-INKL account in association name — association@ email, not personal.
- KAS sub-accounts per role (webmaster, editor) — least privilege.
- 2FA if available on main account.
- Backup — enable + external export before annual meeting.
- GDPR — membership forms, retention, host DPA.
- Handover — doc "how to restore site in 30 min".
Limits to know
- DE support — possible language barrier.
- No HDS / SecNumCloud — health data out of scope.
- VPS if skilled — else disciplined shared hosting.
The crux: unlimited tech, limited human access
