Well, &ldquo;free&rdquo; sounds like a fair price, but it might not always be the <strong><em>best<\/em><\/strong> choice in the long run&hellip;and there are some tradeoffs. Let me explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly of all, free hosting is great for side projects and hobbies. But for serious, long-term websites, affordable or premium web hosting services are <em>usually<\/em> better. These paid services tend to offer more reliability, security, and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<div class=\"su-tabs su-tabs-style-default su-tabs-mobile-stack\" data-active=\"1\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-tabs-nav\"><span class=\"\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"blank\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><strong>Key takeaways<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div class=\"su-tabs-panes\"><div class=\"su-tabs-pane su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" data-title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Key takeaways&lt;\/strong&gt;\">\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t have the time to read the whole guide, here&rsquo;s the down-to-fact version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you&rsquo;re <strong>launching your site for any serious purpose<\/strong> &#128084;, consider a mainstream host. While it is not going to be free, the entry price is often more than affordable. I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/bluehost-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bluehost<\/a> for those self-hosted websites. If you use our link, you can get a special discounted price of $3.99 \/ month. Plus, you get a free domain name included for the first year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to build a <strong>free website all in one place and have it hosted for free<\/strong> &#127968;, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/wix-free-hosting-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Wix<\/a>. They offer an all-in-one solution. While <strong><em>they have a free plan<\/em><\/strong>, you can also try their premium plans with a 14-day money-back guarantee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lastly, for those who are <strong>comfortable using more advanced tools<\/strong> &#128104;&zwj;&#128187;, another option is to turn your site into a static one. You can then host it for free on platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/vercel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Vercel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.cloudflare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Cloudflare Pages<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.github.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">GitHub Pages<\/a>.

catch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Free hosting sounds good, but it rarely stays simple over the long haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main kinds of free hosts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some offer hosting as a way to push you toward a paid plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Others give it away because hosting isn&rsquo;t their main product. It&rsquo;s just a bonus on top of something else they sell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With the first type, the deal is clear: you get free hosting, and they get a chance to market to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the second, the hosting stays free only if you handle the setup yourself. That usually means configuring servers or making your site static. Companies save money by leaving the technical work to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can work if you know your way around the tech. But if you don&rsquo;t, you&rsquo;ll likely spend hours fixing problems instead of running your site. Support is also limited, often just forums or documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So while free hosting cuts costs, it demands time and skills. If you&rsquo;re not prepared to handle the setup and maintenance yourself, you might want to consider investing in a paid hosting plan that offers more support and easier setup options. Again, please consider <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/bluehost-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bluehost<\/a> for that. It&rsquo;s our favorite host &ndash; affordable and powerful enough to handle all new websites starting from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-free-website-hosting-services\">Types of free website hosting services<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e0e0e0;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#fafafa;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n\n\n\n<p>I divided this list into four parts. The order is also not accidental &ndash; it <strong>goes from the most practical<\/strong> and useful\/feasible to the least. Though, of course, that&rsquo;s just my opinion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#128230; <a href=\"#All-in-one-website-platforms\">All-in-one website platforms with free plans<\/a> &ndash; These are platforms that will host your website for free as long as that website has been built using the very same platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#128104;&zwj;&#128187; <a href=\"#Dev-friendly-hosting\">Dev-friendly free hosting<\/a> &ndash; Best free website hosting as long as you&rsquo;re not afraid of experimenting with dev-level tools.

However, these all-in-one website platforms are often actually the best way for most people to build a site for free and have it hosted. Particularly if you&rsquo;re a beginner to all this and want to DIY all, this is going to be the path for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specific platforms that I&rsquo;m listing below follow the &ldquo;freemium&rdquo; business model. In other words, they will deliver part of their features for free, as long as you don&rsquo;t go over your assigned quota and as long as you&rsquo;re also willing to live with some of the inconvenience of the arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table fancy-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Free plan<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Websites<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Storage space<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><strong>Monthly bandwidth<\/strong><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>AI tools<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Wix<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">999<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">500 MB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#9989;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weebly<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">500 MB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Unmetered<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#10060;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Jimdo<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Unmetered<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#9989; (limited)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Strikingly<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Unlimited<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">500 MB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#9989;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"wix\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/wix-free-hosting-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Wix<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<img data-opt-id=1479399845  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wix.jpg\" alt=\"Wix\" class=\"aligncenter size-full blog-img-std\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n\n\n\n<p>Wix is one of the most popular website platforms on the web (it&rsquo;s either <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wix-vs-squarespace\/\">Wix or Squarespace<\/a> as top 1 and 2 when it comes to features), and the top such solution that <strong>has a free plan.<\/strong> It&rsquo;s ideal for beginners or those on a tight budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wix&rsquo;s free plan allows you to create and launch a basic website, plus you get to use Wix&rsquo;s AI site builder and ready-made designs to do so. It&rsquo;s an all-in-one tool, which means all you need to do is visit <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/wix-free-hosting-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Wix.com<\/a>, sign up (no credit card is required), and then follow the guided steps to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company provides over 2,000 themes to build your site. Although it&rsquo;s important to note that while you can customize various design elements, switching the main theme after launch isn&rsquo;t straightforward. The Wix panel is also crowded. This can slow you down if all you want is to quickly launch a free website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor to consider about the free plan is that it gives you a website address based on a subdomain, which isn&rsquo;t very attractive (<code>accountname.wixsite.com\/sitename<\/code>). It also places ads on every page and the storage is capped at 500 MB with 1 GB of bandwidth. Free users have limited customer support, and there&rsquo;s no possibility to collect payments or use Google Analytics on the free plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wix&rsquo;s free plan can still work for new websites and users who value quick setup above everything else. And if you ever want to expand by adding an ecommerce store or other advanced features, you can always upgrade to one of Wix&rsquo;s paid plans, which start at $17.00 \/ month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One last note about Wix is that the website prompts you to &ldquo;start for free&rdquo; in many places. This wording can feel slightly misleading, so to clarify: &ldquo;starting&rdquo; in this context doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;ll be required to upgrade to a paid plan later on. <strong>You can start on the free plan and stay on it indefinitely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"weebly\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weebly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Weebly<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<img data-opt-id=816807198  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/weebly.png\" alt=\"Weebly\" class=\"aligncenter size-full blog-img-std\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n\n\n\n<p>Weebly is a versatile website builder overall and a strong alternative to Wix when it comes to the features offered and the free plan limitations. For example, you&rsquo;re allowed to showcase portfolios and sell products on the free plan (though there are transaction fees). On the other hand, though, you can only have up to five pages on your free website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find the Wix interface a bit too confusing or dislike Wix&rsquo;s ad in the top bar of your site, Weebly might be a better fit for you. The platform features a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, making it easy for beginners to create and customize their websites. On the other hand, there are no modern AI site building tools, which is something to take into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weebly also comes with a variety of design options and customizations, allowing you to choose from a wide range of modern themes that can be tailored to your specific needs. You can further enhance your site&rsquo;s appearance with features such as photo galleries, slideshows, social media icons, newsletter subscription boxes, built-in analytics, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The free plan allows you to host your blog under a <code>SITE.weebly.com<\/code> subdomain. Before making your blog public, you need to verify your user information. Overall, Weebly offers a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for anyone looking to start a blog, showcase their portfolio, or even sell products online without incurring initial costs. Then, of course, if you ever need more, the paid tiers start at $10.00 \/ month.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"jimdo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/jimdo-builder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Jimdo<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<img data-opt-id=345358127  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/jimdo.png\" alt=\"Jimdo\" class=\"aligncenter size-full blog-img-std\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n\n\n\n<p>Jimdo is another user-friendly website builder &ndash; similar to Wix &ndash; that offers a free plan for creating and hosting websites. It provides 5 GB of storage and unmetered bandwidth, which is more than enough for small websites and personal projects. Free websites are hosted under a <code>SITE.jimdosite.com<\/code> subdomain, giving you a semi-professional-looking web address &ndash; at least better than Wix&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform features modern templates with basic customization options. Jimdo includes essential features such as contact forms, social media integration, and basic SEO tools to help optimize your site for search engines. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface makes it easy for beginners and those with limited technical skills to create and manage their websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the company has now added an AI Companion that&rsquo;s built right into the interface. You can use it to get assistance in real time and it will help resolve most minor issues.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px

quite unique compared to the other options above). With the free plan, you can build unlimited free sites, each hosted under a <code>SITE.strikingly.com<\/code> subdomain. This plan provides 5 GB of monthly bandwidth and 500 MB of total storage per site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each site can have up to five pages, which is not a lot but can still be enough for a small experimental project. Additionally, <strong>the free plan includes a simple store feature<\/strong>, enabling you to sell one product per site. This is a great option for those looking to dip their toes into ecommerce without a financial commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strikingly&rsquo;s free plan also allows you to invite collaborators, plus you have access to 24\/7 support, ensuring that help is available whenever you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Strikingly&rsquo;s free plan is ideal for individuals and small businesses seeking a straightforward and cost-effective way to establish an online presence, with the flexibility to create multiple sites and the support to help you succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"Dev-friendly-hosting\">Dev-friendly hosting that&rsquo;s free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re not afraid to get your hands dirty <em>under the hood of a website<\/em>, so to speak, then there are many more options available for you out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Particularly, it turns out that multiple platforms specializing in hosting web applications or providing computing infrastructure or cloud tools also offer free hosting that&rsquo;s available publicly. The catch is, of course, that it&rsquo;s not as simple as signing up with an email and building your site with drag and drop (like on Wix, for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to do a lot more legwork here, but it is well worth it. The results are awesome when it comes to the final performance and reliability of your site. They are not great, however, for ongoing site updates or figuring out stuff when anything goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s take a high-level look at these platforms and then we&rsquo;ll go through them one by one to explain how they work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table fancy-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Free host<\/th><th>Storage Space<\/th><th><strong>Monthly bandwidth<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Can connect custom domain for free<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>GitHub Pages<\/strong><\/td><td>1 GB<\/td><td>100 GB<\/td><td>&#9989;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Vercel<\/strong><\/td><td>1 GB<\/td><td>100 GB<\/td><td>&#9989;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cloudflare Pages<\/strong><\/td><td><span id=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15427_button\" class=\"su-tooltip-button su-tooltip-button-outline-yes tooltip-underline\" aria-describedby=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15427\" data-settings='{\"position\":\"top\",\"behavior\":\"hover\",\"hideDelay\":0}' tabindex=\"0\">Unmetered &#9888;&#65039;<\/span><span style=\"display:none;z-index:100\" id=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15427\" class=\"su-tooltip tooltip-underline\" role=\"tooltip\"><span class=\"su-tooltip-inner su-tooltip-shadow-no\" style=\"z-index:100;background:#222222;color:#FFFFFF;font-size:16px;border-radius:5px;text-align:left;max-width:300px;line-height:1.25\"><span class=\"su-tooltip-title\"><\/span><span class=\"su-tooltip-content su-u-trim\">Cloudflare's free plan does not have a hard cap on total storage space, but instead sets limits on the number of files you can upload and the size of each file.

It allows you to host static websites directly from a GitHub repository. If you&rsquo;re fairly comfortable hosting websites the standard way &ndash; i.e., by uploading files to a server &ndash; then GitHub Pages provides a more streamlined alternative where everything is coordinated through the GitHub repo, along with version control to simplify the process of managing and updating your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It works with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. After pushing files to your repo and chosen branch, GitHub builds and serves the site. The default address of a site like that looks like <code>https:\/\/username.github.io\/repository-name\/<\/code>. If your repository is named after the username, the site appears at <code>https:\/\/username.github.io\/<\/code>. Updates are automatic, so each new push refreshes the site. A custom domain can also be connected for a personal address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, you do get the whole power of GitHub behind a site like that. Meaning, you can easily track changes, collaborate with others, and even revert to previous versions of your site if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite use of GitHub Pages is to roll out simple static websites to it. The process goes like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by creating a repository and uploading all your static website files to it (<code>index.html<\/code>, CSS, JS, images, what have you).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The repository needs to be Public if you want to be able to use Pages for free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings &rarr; Pages<\/strong>. From there, choose &ldquo;Deploy from a branch&rdquo; and then pick the branch you want (if you&rsquo;re not sure, go with <code>main<\/code>). Click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GitHub will build and deploy your site automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full blog-img-std\"><img

being hosted for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the setup process may seem complex initially, especially if you&rsquo;re new to GitHub, the results are a performant static site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, hosting a static site on GitHub Pages is a powerful way to create a custom publication without recurring costs. However, it requires some technical know-how to get started and manage. Lastly, be mindful of the limitations of this free plan; specifically, the maximum size for a GitHub repository (including the history) is 1 GB, and GitHub Pages sites have a soft bandwidth limit of 100 GB \/ month and a limit of 100,000 requests \/ hour.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3

Vercel&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/vercel.com\/docs\/plans\/hobby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hobby plan<\/a> &ndash; the free one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I said &ldquo;projects&rdquo; and not just &ldquo;static websites&rdquo; because Vercel is capable of lots of cool things. <strong>It&rsquo;s impressively generous<\/strong> and powerful for something that you can use entirely for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, it can handle a wide range of modern frontend and full-stack frameworks. This includes things like React (via Next.js), Angular, Vue, SvelteKit, Astro, and more. Backend logic can also run as serverless functions in Node.js, Go, Python, Ruby, or via Edge runtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, there are additional features such as web analytics, observability stats, firewall plus loads of built in integrations, for example for Open Graph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the quotas, you get to use up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4 CPU-hrs of active CPU work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>360 GB-hrs of provisioned memory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1M edge requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100K web analytics events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100 GB fast data transfer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 GB of fast origin transfer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It even shows you how much of your quota you&rsquo;ve used so far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full

You are very unlikely to ever have to upgrade to a paid plan, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so how to make it all work and roll out a website project to Vercel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real simple, actually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start at GitHub. Create a repo for your project, put all the required files there &ndash; just as we did in the previous method (with GitHub Pages).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign up to Vercel and pick the Hobby plan. Provide all the info needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the Vercel panel, either click on &ldquo;Add New&hellip;&rdquo; or &ldquo;Import Git Repository&rdquo; depending on the part of the dashboard you&rsquo;re in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect your Vercel account with GitHub and set the permissions so that Vercel sees the repo that you want to deploy. Just click on Import to get the project fetched. Vercel automatically detects and deploys static assets, with zero-configuration for most frameworks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Just click on the main Deploy button to get it all done. Only takes a couple of seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=15878898

Vercel is my personal favorite when it comes to free website hosting options if I&rsquo;m honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus; There&rsquo;s actually a way to host a WordPress site on Vercel for free &ndash; not just a static HTML site. You can do it by using something called <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mitchmac\/ServerlessWP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ServerlessWP<\/a>.

we&rsquo;re going to use it here. It&rsquo;s a platform designed for hosting static websites, using Cloudflare&rsquo;s own global network for fast, secure, and reliable delivery. It also integrates with Git repositories, in case you want to ensure continuous deployment and somewhat easier updates. A key perk when it comes to Cloudflare Pages, though, is that it provides this website hosting entirely for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, technically, you can host the same static site with GitHub Pages, Vercel, and Cloudflare Pages, but there are some differences in how the final site operates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>GitHub Pages has limitations on custom plugins and build processes, often requiring users to build sites locally for custom configurations. Cloudflare Pages, however, allows for custom build commands and environment variables, supporting modern development workflows and preview deployments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performance-wise, GitHub Pages serves sites through GitHub&rsquo;s infrastructure, which, while reliable, may not be as globally distributed as a dedicated CDN. Cloudflare Pages leverages Cloudflare&rsquo;s own extensive global CDN, ensuring faster load times by serving content from servers closest to the visitor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Cloudflare Pages offers more flexibility, enhanced performance through its CDN, and a robust set of features for advanced configurations and security options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you just want to launch a simple static site on Cloudflare Pages, then the process can be pretty simple. Plus, you can use a local installation of WordPress to be your <em>donor<\/em> site. What you can do is: (1) create your WP site locally and then turn it static, (2) ZIP your site, (3) sign up to Cloudflare and go to the Workers and Pages menu, (4) upload your website and deploy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is literally it. Cloudflare will make your site available under <code>SITE-NAME.pages.dev<\/code>. Of course, you can also hook up a custom domain name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a full video tutorial on how to get a static WordPress site deployed to Cloudflare Pages from start to finish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube blog-img-std wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Create Free Static Websites Using WordPress\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/62hasINWHuY?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/themeisle.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"Classic-free-website-hosting-offers\">Classic free website hosting offers (available in 2026)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These hosting companies offer traditional\/classic web hosting accounts that just happen to be free.

2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"></noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>InfinityFree is a free website hosting service that promises to provide 5GB of disk space, unlimited bandwidth, and 99.9% uptime. It supports the latest PHP and MySQL versions, offers free subdomains, and includes a free SSL certificate. Key features include <strong>no ads on your site<\/strong>, a simple control panel, and a script installer &ndash; so that you can launch a site on WordPress, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, not all users might enjoy the experience. Some report that the backend is cluttered with ads and links to paid third-party tools (so while there are no ads on the site itself, there are tons in your panel). Issues like file managers not functioning properly and non-existent support can be problematic for everyday use, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>InfinityFree can be ideal for hobbyists, students, and small projects. However, it may require patience and technical know-how to navigate the challenges it comes with, so you should be aware of those before launching any serious site using the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Important details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 GB disk space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited bandwidth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can bring your own domain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free SSL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PHP 8.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MySQL 8.0 \/ MariaDB 11.4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>400 MySQL databases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free DNS service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fffbcc\">InfinityFree is powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/ifastnet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">iFastNet<\/a>, which also offers premium hosting. The cheapest plan starts at $2.50 a month and includes one free domain, 10 GB of disk space, an email address, and more features.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"other-free-web-hosts\">Other free web hosts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, I wanted to give you a larger list of recommendations of classic free hosting. However, it turns out that the company above is the only one with a good(ish) reputation and a good balance of positive reviews online. There was also <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/hostinger-free-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">000webhost<\/a> some time back, but that one got discontinued by its parent company &ndash; Hostinger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the rest of the free hosts, though, it&rsquo;s a mixed bag really, and the reviews are much less positive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I still want to give you a list of more options, but please do take them with a grain of salt. I&rsquo;d still recommend testing out the two free hosts above first &#9757;&#65039;, and then going down the list only if you find yourself not liking something about the ones above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that disclaimer out of the way, here are some additional companies that also offer free hosting alongside Infinity Free for comparison:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table fancy-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Free host<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Websites<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Storage<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Band<br>width<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Email accounts<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Custom Domain Support<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Free SSL<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infinityfree.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Infinity Free<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Unlimited<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Unlimited<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#10060;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#9989;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#9989;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freehostia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Freehostia<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">250 MB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#9989;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#9989;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freewebhostingarea.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Free Web Hosting Area<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.5 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Unmetered<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#10060;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><span id=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15615_button\" class=\"su-tooltip-button su-tooltip-button-outline-yes tooltip-underline\" aria-describedby=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15615\" data-settings='{\"position\":\"top\",\"behavior\":\"hover\",\"hideDelay\":0}' tabindex=\"0\">&#9989;&#9888;&#65039;<\/span><span style=\"display:none;z-index:100\" id=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15615\" class=\"su-tooltip tooltip-underline\" role=\"tooltip\"><span class=\"su-tooltip-inner su-tooltip-shadow-no\" style=\"z-index:100;background:#222222;color:#FFFFFF;font-size:16px;border-radius:5px;text-align:left;max-width:300px;line-height:1.25\"><span class=\"su-tooltip-title\"><\/span><span class=\"su-tooltip-content su-u-trim\">Must email contact@freewha.com to request an account for your domain.<\/span><\/span><span id=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15615_arrow\" class=\"su-tooltip-arrow\" style=\"z-index:100;background:#222222\" data-popper-arrow><\/span><\/span><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#10060;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.awardspace.com\/free-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">AwardSpace<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><span id=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15658_button\" class=\"su-tooltip-button su-tooltip-button-outline-yes tooltip-underline\" aria-describedby=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15658\" data-settings='{\"position\":\"top\",\"behavior\":\"hover\",\"hideDelay\":0}' tabindex=\"0\">4&#9888;&#65039;<\/span><span style=\"display:none;z-index:100\" id=\"su_tooltip_69febe9f15658\" class=\"su-tooltip tooltip-underline\" role=\"tooltip\"><span class=\"su-tooltip-inner su-tooltip-shadow-no\" style=\"z-index:100;background:#222222;color:#FFFFFF;font-size:16px;border-radius:5px;text-align:left;max-width:300px;line-height:1.25\"><span class=\"su-tooltip-title\"><\/span><span class=\"su-tooltip-content su-u-trim\">You can connect one domain and three subdomains.

In short, it&rsquo;s an all-in-one workspace that combines note-taking, task management, database creation, and collaboration tools. It was designed to help individuals and teams organize their work and streamline their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For personal use, it can help you manage your tasks, plan projects, and organize daily life with features like to-do lists and calendars. In team settings, it&rsquo;s quite useful for project management and collaboration. Students and educators benefit from Notion by organizing study materials, taking notes, and managing schedules. There are also some great implementations of Notion as a CRM, a company wiki, and loads of other uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, among those more original use cases, <strong>Notion can also serve as your website platform<\/strong> and free hosting all in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natively in Notion, you can take any page and make it public on the web. Granted, this is only a single page (not a whole site yet). You can also choose whether your page should be visible on Google or not, which is a key feature for most real websites. The best part is that you don&rsquo;t have to settle for single-page hosting. There&rsquo;s a very active community around Notion, with loads of third-party tools that make Notion much more powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/super.so\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Super.so<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/potion.so\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Potion.so<\/a> allow you to portion off a section of your Notion workspace and have it published to the web as a standalone website. Basically, you can create a hub in Notion, add individual pages, link it all through some menus and normal links, and then have it deployed to the web as a whole standalone website. And, as you would expect at this point, both Super and Potion come with free plans. Check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading

As in, it&rsquo;s where authors can share their content, and readers can subscribe to get that content delivered to their inboxes. However, Substack can also function effectively as a website engine, along with free hosting.* This dual capability makes it an excellent choice for writers looking to establish an online presence without technical hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform is designed for simplicity, making it accessible even for those who aren&rsquo;t tech-savvy. The interface is straightforward, with a clear navigation menu and easy-to-find content publication options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a website, Substack supports text, images, videos, code blocks, LaTeX for technical writing, and polls. Recently, Substack has added features like micro-blogging with &ldquo;Notes,&rdquo; podcasting options, and a chat feature for real-time conversations with readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m saying all this here to highlight that for the right kind of user, opting for a free Substack &ldquo;site + newsletter&rdquo; combo might be all they&rsquo;ll ever need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even monetizing a Substack is possible. The platform includes features like &ldquo;pledges&rdquo; to gauge your audience&rsquo;s willingness to pay for your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, however, there are some limitations on what you can do with a website like that. Most notably, the design options are minimal, focusing on functionality over aesthetic flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, Substack is ideal for writers who want to focus on publishing their content, not on tinkering with web design. It provides the tools to build, grow, and monetize your audience easily and affordably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* <strong>Note<\/strong>: If you want to connect a custom domain name to your free site, Substack charges a one-time fee of $50. <sup data-fn=\"f454ea81-93b9-41ac-87fa-7ab3afd0f122\" class=\"fn\"><a id=\"f454ea81-93b9-41ac-87fa-7ab3afd0f122-link\" href=\"#f454ea81-93b9-41ac-87fa-7ab3afd0f122\">1<\/a><\/sup> Otherwise, hosting is completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"conclusion-how-to-pick-a-free-host\">Conclusion &ndash; how to pick a free host<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you&rsquo;ve seen, there are quite a lot of options if you&rsquo;re in need of some free hosting for your website!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And quite surprisingly, most of them are not crappy at all, as long as you&rsquo;re willing to get your hands dirty doing some basic (or less basic) config.
