The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has set forth a critical mission: ensuring government agencies and subsidiaries properly transition to official .gov domains for websites, services, and communication. This movement is essential for public trust, cybersecurity, and protecting citizens from impersonation attacks.

Per the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the U.S. federal agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for defending critical infrastructure, government networks, and the nation's digital systems against cyber threats, and the Office of Management and Budget's Memorandum M-23-10, all federal agencies are mandated to use .gov or .mil domains. State, local, tribal, and territorial governments are strongly encouraged to adopt .gov domains to enhance public trust, security, and compliance with federal cybersecurity standards. Additional guidance is provided in OMB Memorandum M-23-22 (Delivering a Digital-First Public Experience) and OMB Memorandum M-24-04 (Federal Information Security and Privacy Management Requirements).

YesGov's mission is to assist smaller government organizations in properly establishing their online presence and communication through official .gov domains. We understand that many smaller government entities lack the specialized IT staff and resources needed to navigate the complex .gov domain registration process, maintain compliance with federal requirements, and implement enterprise-grade secure hosting. That's where we come in.

We work directly with governing bodies, clerks, and designated contacts to make this transition seamless. From acquiring your .gov domain from CISA to building your website and ensuring all security requirements are met, YesGov handles everything so you can focus on serving your community.

When you break down what you get, our population-based annual rates represent truly remarkable value:

• ✓ .Gov Domain Acquisition: We handle the entire CISA registration process (typically $400+ and weeks of work)
• ✓ Professional Website Development or Transfer: Custom website built to your specifications, or secure transfer of your existing website with vulnerability scanning and fixes (typically $2,000-$5,000+)
• ✓ Secure Infrastructure Hosting: Enterprise-grade infrastructure on hardware we control (typically $50-$200/month)
• ✓ Unlimited Secure Email: Unlimited email accounts with government-grade security (typically $5-$10/user/month)
• ✓ Full CISA Compliance: SSL, DNSSEC, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, and all security requirements (typically requires dedicated IT staff)
• ✓ Ongoing Security Updates: Continuous monitoring and updates to meet evolving CISA standards
• ✓ 24/7 Support: Backed by our team and secure infrastructure
• ✓ No Hidden Fees: One flat rate covers everything—no per-user charges, no bandwidth fees, no surprises

Total Value: What would typically cost $5,000-$10,000+ in setup fees and $1,200-$3,600+ per year in ongoing costs is available starting at just $250 per year (based on population). This is possible because YesGov is not a standard for-profit business—we're a joint venture public benefit corporation focused on assisting with the .gov movement set out by CISA.
