Why Free Hosting Exists
HostForFree.uk exists for people who want to learn, test, or launch a small website without committing to a full hosting plan on day one. It is designed as an entry point into real hosting tools.
Who it is built for
Students, hobby projects, portfolios, small landing pages, and simple PHP or MySQL learning projects.
Why there are limits
Free hosting attracts abuse. Clear limits help keep the platform stable and fair for everyone. This is also why email is disabled on the free plan.
WordPress expectations
WordPress can run on small resources, but it grows quickly with plugins, themes, and media uploads. If your goal is a full WordPress site, a paid plan is the better experience.
How upgrades work
If your project grows, upgrading gives you more resources and features such as email hosting. The goal is a smooth path from starter usage to a proper plan when you are ready.
Keeping the free plan active
Logging in regularly keeps your service active. Inactive accounts are paused and later removed so free resources stay available for active users.
