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.

    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 :wink:

  • 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...

    Thanked by 1receivedthanks

    1 TB+ per month. Those hetzner servers have limits you know :)

    Thanked by 1receivedthanks
  • 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.

  • 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 .

    Thanked by 1receivedthanks
  • 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.

    Hm, didn't thought that. Just use domain form and you should be good to go.

    Received mass backlog with some bugs.

    • Fixed wrong location selection as well as category
    • Fixed error with Wordpress posts not saving (AJAX requests denied)

    I think 60 MB upload size limit is good enough

    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!
