About FreeHosts
We're on a mission to democratize web hosting by connecting developers, students, and hobbyists with reliable, truly free hosting solutions. No scams, no hidden fees, just genuine free hosting verified by our community.
Our Story
FreeHosts was founded in 2023 after our team spent weeks searching for reliable free hosting for our side projects, Discord bots, and portfolio websites. What we found was a landscape filled with scams, services with hidden fees, providers that suddenly shut down, and "free" hosting with so many restrictions it was essentially unusable.
We realized there had to be a better way. While legitimate free hosting providers existed, finding them meant sifting through dozens of outdated forum posts, contradictory reviews, and promotional content. We needed a curated, verified directory maintained by people who actually test and use these services.
So we built FreeHosts—a community-driven platform where every hosting provider is manually verified, tested, and monitored. We don't accept payment for listings, we don't rank based on affiliate commissions, and we're transparent about our verification process. If a host is listed here, it's because we've tested it and believe it's worth your time.
Today, FreeHosts serves thousands of developers worldwide, from students learning their first programming language to experienced developers running production applications. Our community actively contributes reviews, updates, and support, creating the most comprehensive and trustworthy free hosting directory on the internet.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Trust & Transparency
Every hosting provider undergoes rigorous manual verification. We test uptime, performance, and reliability before listing. No paid placements—our rankings are based solely on quality and community feedback.
Community First
Built by developers, for developers. Our community actively contributes reviews, updates, and insights. We believe in the power of collective knowledge and open collaboration.
Innovation & Quality
We prioritize hosting providers with modern infrastructure, cutting-edge features, and excellent performance. Free hosting shouldn't mean compromising on quality.
Education & Support
We provide comprehensive guides, tutorials, and documentation to help developers deploy their projects successfully with the right hosting solutions.

Our Verification Process
Every hosting provider goes through rigorous testing before being listed
Initial Submission
Hosting providers submit their service through our submission form or community members recommend services they've successfully used.
Technical Review
Our team reviews technical specifications, terms of service, privacy policy, and resource allocations. We verify there are no hidden fees or deceptive practices.
Hands-on Testing
We deploy real applications—websites, bots, APIs, and databases—to test actual performance, uptime, and support quality over several weeks.
Community Validation
The hosting provider is shared with our community for additional testing and feedback. We collect real-world usage data and user experiences.
Continuous Monitoring
After listing, we continuously monitor uptime, performance, and service changes. Providers that degrade in quality or introduce fees are removed or flagged.
