Shared hosting is cheap as fuck anyway
I was doing research on another issue and found out about this company. It is ran by a 15 year old. I was impressed as a student I had very little money so it may help someone. God bless you!
For most of us, learning that a minor is running a business (and caretaking your personal info) is a major turn off, not inspiration.
15 year olds running companies on LET is nothing new
15 year olds running companies that last more than 6 months and provide acceptable service...that would be new.
So does Wix, Github, and a million other places. Free cPanel might be slightly more interesting - though there are hundreds of free web hosts offering free cpanel - but you're VestaCP...er...Plesk.
And apparently that can't handle Let's Encrypt? WTF?
"We started Gwiddle because we felt that there was a void in current offerings – new web developers needed to get their work out there, but didn’t know how."
Can you name one?
BTW, how's that Raspberry Pi-basted hosting doing, btw?
Well at least you guys chose reasonable title...not a single Chief or Vice President. Usually in a small hosting company your size run by 15 year olds, we'd have at least one Global Senior Executive Vice President for Transglobal Development, so I suppose that's saying something...

I just thought it was interesting. This is the pdf slideshow I was reading you can get the info on the CEO on slide 22. The site looks super professional and I am impressed. I am not affiliated with them at all. God bless you!

Looks like that's a bit outdated. Plesk has native support for LetsEncrypt.
It also appears that whilst MythicBeasts sponsor their server, they're not the same company. MythicBeasts is a semi-well known company in the United Kingdom - They host the Raspberry Pi website, and they're not too shabby with IPv6
So, it is what it is. Free web hosting ran by a 15 year old, although from a glance looks more recognised than most teenage web hosts.
For each pageload on their website my spotify on mobile paused, not cool
All is well until they will come here and ask for $100.000 "investments" to take over the world.
Ahhh, we all miss Johnny N. so much...
I found my new title! Global Senior Executive Vice President for Transglobal Development sounds good. But how can I abbreviate it for my license plate.
"Jorden Is Wearing Big Boy Pants", or JIWBBP, I suppose.
The best part about living in a state with 700,000 people is all the license plate choices are available. besides for COW sadly that one is taken.
"LOWENDR"
ASSHAT is better IMO
Pretty sure @KnownHostChrisM already claimed that one.
Only in Alabamer and who gives a crap about that cesspool.
lol I think the DMV wouldn't approve of that.
Alabama and Cesspool are definitely 2 words that go together.

I guess it would be similar to non-profits? With government grants and donor contributions this could be a very profitable company. In college, we were taught to start a non-profit and create a budget. In the budget you can specify how much for the salary of the ceo/director and other employees. Many times this salary was over $100,000 pretty ingenious business plan from a 15 year old. Profit from free hosting. God bless you!
Yet the troll sticker hasn't gotten you pulled over yet, has it?
WOW 1.5GB OF BANDWIDTH SUCH AMAZING
A few high quality images and 1000 visitors and bye bye transfer limit
Like @BG32 said, shared hosting is dirt cheap, but I guess for students who are broke, well...
God forbid you don't develop with Node..
