Free Wordpress Hosting - Home made!
So yea, I'am offering free Wordpress hosting. What's included:
- Custom mini-control panel designed for Wordpress control only (https://imgur.com/6OwbNdW)
- 2 GB SSD storage
- Unlimited bandwidth (probably you will get banned for excessive usage)
- You can bring your own domain or use sub-domain
- Memcached support (localhost:11211)
- Free SSL
- 3 website limit per user
Feedback appreciated as this is beta version regarding functionality.
At the moment all orders require manual approval, to avoid abuse. Each location supports 50 websites.

Nicely done, looks very clean.
I'm going to just going to assume you do but, make sure you have protections against unsecured plugins
Since you'll probably get 100+ orders
At the moment there is nice security -> delete offender. In future I will implement some sort of Wordpress plugin scanner and automatically remove those who will be in blacklist.
Regarding order quantity, at the moment each location support 50 websites.
Good to hear you have it in mind already. Most hosts don't.
I wish you the best of luck with this friend! ♥
I will be painfully honest.
This won't end well.
Ou, I know that. What's your prediction?
So many ways to go wrong.
The days are gone where people respected free stuff. These days, kids take free stuff for granted.
I think it is suitable for students, thanks for your free wp hosting
Isn't multiple wordpress installations on a VPS pretty hard to do? It seems like running a wordpress hosting service would be a highly technical endeavor? Tons of fucked up plugins, constant updates that might break stuff, high memory usage, lots of attack vectors, high caching needed, lots of mysql reads/writes.
I never tried, but it seems hard to me.
Created an account just because the idea seems crazy enough and should be given a try! Cheers
nice work
indeed welldone
just one thing, if you would put a bit more clarification on the bandwidth excessive usage thing...
1 TB+ per month. Those hetzner servers have limits you know
Respect for having the domain hostWP and not having a startng fee of $1,000/month, nevermind free. :P
Weird, I chose USA, but ended up seeing Europe. Anyways, great work, reminds me of pilvia.site earlier days when it used to be free.
Thank you for bug report!
side note , I never thought free host still a thing , at least on this forum , I'm curious what panel you use did you program it by yourself , I never think doing such thing but after what Cpanel did to their customers I think this is the best solution .
I just signed up. There's a new site I have in mind, and this is perfect!
Yes, I also chose USA and ended up in Europe and choose Personal Blog and somehow it's listed under Automotive.
Same..
I'm also unable to save a draft and or published a post.
Same here. I opened a ticket.
All the best man! Great initiative. Love that minimal style
Will give it a try!
Can I use my own subdomain (blog.mydomain.com) ???
Hm, didn't thought that. Just use domain form and you should be good to go.
Received mass backlog with some bugs.
Thanks for the freebie ! I just registered to give it a try and I couldn't upload a custom theme since the max upload file size is too low !
Nice, you stepped on important thing. Now, how much of upload size do you need?
good job
I think 60 MB upload size limit is good enough
Done. Now it's set to 128MB. Thank you for report.
is Europe location with Hetzner or any other provider?
Its blazing fast!
The niche seletion is bugged, I selected computers and internet or something like that but panel shows automotive in one window and art & culture in other.
You should add an option to make a backup of the site and database
Also an option for people who made the "subdomain.hostwp.net" can move later to "owndomain.com" would be great.
I just created my blog, selected USA and I see Europe in the dashboard...
Good job for now, and great free service!
It's good old hetz.
