Register domains in seconds through MyBMABA, manage your DNS on Cloudflare infrastructure, and connect your website and email in a click. Gold members get a free domain every year, for as long as they are with us.
Your website sits on it. Your email runs through it. Every poster, every business card, every social profile points at it. And yet it is usually the thing clubs think about least, sitting on an account nobody can log into, registered by somebody who left the club in 2019, quietly auto-renewing on a card that expired.
We would rather it sat somewhere sensible. Registered in a couple of minutes, managed on infrastructure that does not fall over, connected to your website and email without you touching a record value, and inside the same certified systems as everything else we run for you.
If none of this means anything to you, that is completely normal and you are in good company. Here it is in one picture.
The address itself, the bit people type or read on a poster. You own it, you renew it, and nothing else about your setup works without it.
A set of instructions attached to that address. Each record says where a particular kind of traffic should go: this record for the website, that one for email, another for a booking tool.
Change a record and your website or email moves, in minutes, without touching the domain itself. Get one wrong and things silently stop arriving. That is why we would rather do it with you than leave you guessing.
Included with membership, managed from the same account as your website, your email and everything else.
Gold members receive one free domain registration each year of membership. Not a first-year promotional rate that quietly triples on renewal, and not a voucher with conditions attached. One domain, every year, for as long as you are with us.
Most clubs use it on the obvious one and never think about domains again. Others use it to pick up the matching .com, secure a name for a second venue, or grab something they have been meaning to register for two years.
Compare Membership TiersIncluded with Gold membership, renewed annually alongside it, with no first-year trick pricing.
DNS is where most people give up. Ours has presets for the services you are most likely to be pointing at, so you choose the service and we write the records.
Two things clubs ask us constantly, answered plainly.
You do not need to transfer anything to use our services. If your domain sits with another registrar and you want to use our webmail, our hosting or our site builder, you simply change a few DNS settings where the domain currently lives.
We will give you the exact records to enter and walk you through it if you would rather not do it alone. Plenty of members run this way permanently, and that is completely fine by us.
Ask us for the recordsThe domain belongs to your club. If you decide you would rather hold it with another registrar, you are welcome to move it, and we will not make it difficult. There is a £25 transfer-out fee to cover the administration, and that is the whole of it.
Equally, if you would simply rather we looked after it so it is one less thing to track, we can transfer it in for you and manage it from there.
Talk to the teamYou do not need a new domain to take advantage of any of this. If you already own one and would simply rather it lived somewhere sensible, we will handle the transfer from your current registrar and look after it from there.
Domain transfers are the part of this that most often goes wrong, and the reason is almost always the same. When a domain moves between registrars, the DNS records frequently do not travel with it. The domain lands at its new home with an empty or default zone, and for a few hours or a few days the website is down, the email stops arriving, and nobody realises until a parent mentions it.
So we do it as a managed transfer. Before the domain moves, we read your existing DNS configuration and build it as a template on our side, ready and waiting. The moment the transfer completes and the domain lands with us, that template is applied automatically. Your records are already in place, so there is no window where the zone is empty. In practice that means no downtime and no loss of service, on a process that catches a great many clubs out.
After that, renewals, security, infrastructure settings and support are all ours to worry about, while the DNS and domain controls stay yours inside MyBMABA.
And if you would rather leave your domain exactly where it is and simply point it at us, that remains completely fine. Nothing on this page is a requirement.
Nobody opened a martial arts club because they wanted to learn about nameservers. You can arrive here understanding none of this, and that is genuinely fine.
Tell our team what you are trying to achieve and we will talk you through it in plain English, or simply do it for you while you get on with teaching. Registering a first domain, moving one across, connecting email, pointing a record at something external. None of it is a bother, and there is no charge for asking.
If you already work with a web developer, an administrator or a volunteer who handles this for you, they do not have to lose access. Register them a free management account and they can log into MyBMABA and manage your domains and DNS directly, without you handing over your own credentials or anybody being cut out.
The help comes from our own award-winning team, including full-time developers who work on this infrastructure every day. You are not being passed to a hosting company’s overflow desk, and you are not reading a knowledge base article about clearing your cache.
If your website or email falls over somewhere we do not host, come to us anyway. We cannot offer a guaranteed recovery service for infrastructure we do not control, and we will not pretend otherwise, but we will look at it, tell you honestly what has happened, and help you get things back together as quickly as we can.
When DNS goes down, everything goes with it. Your website disappears, your email stops arriving, and enquiries from prospective students vanish without anyone telling you. It is the single least glamorous and most consequential piece of the stack.
So we run ours on Cloudflare, one of the largest networks in the world, rather than on whatever came bundled with a hosting account. That means global anycast resolution answering queries from the closest of hundreds of locations, DDoS protection at network level, and monitoring that flags a problem before a member has to report one.
Flo by BMABA is our own site builder, written in-house and given to every member club at no cost. A live on-screen visual composer, designed themes, deep customisation, one-click publishing, and a real developer on hand if you would rather someone else did it. The result is a professional club website you own and manage yourself, for nothing.
These are not templates. They are live club websites.
