About Us

We're a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization powered by a community of hobbyists that offer full-featured web hosting services for free.



  • We won't try to upsell you to any paid plans but if you appreciate our service we encourage you to make a tax deductible donation.
  • We own our own hardware, which we operate out of a professional datacenter in Silicon Valley. Having full-stack access enables us to offer features like unmetered bandwidth and unlimited domains.
  • We’re supported by an active community of volunteers who you can find on our support forums, in our Discord server, and even via telephone.
  • We’ve been offering free web hosting services to the community for over 18 years.
Our service is not free to run, and in fact in the last year we lost money. Please help support our mission of providing full-featured web hosting for free by donating today.

Testimonials

THIS HOST IS BETTER THAN 000webhost because 000webhost sucks! This host is great, they even gave me a dedicated IP. The only thing is the huge server load and there isn't a lot of webspace.
