KindHOA Board Presence is one checkout for a real community web address plus five renameable officer emails KindHOA sets up for you — $49.99/year (about $4.17/month). A community web address alone is $29.99/year on any plan. Community Email alone is $19.99/year with Board Automation, a card on file, and KindHOA-hosted DNS.

Volunteer boards deserve to look official online — without GoDaddy, Google Workspace, or a neighbor who “knows computers.” Neighbors, vendors, and banks expect a real HOA address, not someone’s personal Gmail.
How much does Board Presence cost?
Domain and board email are not included in the $0 Good Neighbor or $29/month Board Automation subscription. You buy them in Essentials when you want them:
| Offer | Price | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Board Presence (domain + email) | $49.99/year | Board Automation + card |
| Community web address | $29.99/year | Any plan |
| DNS Hosting (keep your registrar) | $29.99/year | Any plan |
| Community Email alone | $19.99/year | Board Automation + KindHOA-hosted DNS |
Board Presence is the same yearly total as buying the web address and email separately — one checkout, not a discount. Card-only on the HOA board billing account.
Real HOA email — security handled for you
KindHOA doesn’t just give you a shorter website link. When Community Email is on, KindHOA finishes the mail security setup so addresses like board@yoursite.com look legitimate to Gmail, Outlook, and other inboxes.
What that means for you:
- Neighbor and vendor replies arrive in KindHOA Community Mail
- Inboxes are told KindHOA is allowed to send as your HOA
- Receivers can trust the message really came from your board address
- You do not paste confusing records at GoDaddy yourself
For a few minutes after setup, mail may briefly send as “via KindHOA” with replies still going to the right officer — then it upgrades to your real board@ From.
Setup helps messages reach the inbox. It does not promise “never spam.” Use Community Mail for board and vendor mail; use Announcements for whole-community blasts.
(For the curious: KindHOA publishes MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on KindHOA-hosted DNS.)
How do boards get Board Presence?
- Start KindHOA (every new HOA begins with a free Board Automation trial).
- Open Essentials → choose Board Presence (or a community web address first, then Community Email).
- Pick a name, accept the agreements, pay with the HOA card.
- Wait a few minutes while KindHOA finishes setup. Rename the five addresses whenever roles change.
Mail lives in Community Mail inside KindHOA — no IMAP / Outlook admin required.
Connecting your own domain vs buying through KindHOA
- Free subdomain — always included (
yourhoa.kindhoa.com). - Connect your own domain (BYO) — Board Automation; website only; does not unlock board email.
- Community web address / DNS Hosting — KindHOA hosts DNS so the site and board email can work.
- Board Presence — the simple pack most boards want.
FAQ

Will board email go to spam?
KindHOA’s security setup helps inbox placement. Nothing can guarantee never spam for any domain.
