How We Got Here
FreeHostingStar started as a small project by developers who were frustrated that getting online required a credit card and a monthly bill. We wanted to change that.
Over the years, we have grown our infrastructure, improved our reliability, and added features like free SSL certificates, one-click WordPress installation, and 400+ app support through Softaculous — all without ever charging our users.
Today, we are proud to host over half a million websites and remain committed to the mission we started with: making the internet accessible to everyone.
2011 — Founded
FreeHostingStar launched with a simple mission: free hosting for everyone, with no catches and no ads on user sites.
2015 — 100K Websites
Crossed 100,000 hosted websites. Added MySQL database support and full PHP compatibility for dynamic applications.
2019 — Free SSL for All
Enabled free SSL certificates for every domain on our platform. HTTPS became standard, not a premium feature.
2022 — Softaculous + 400 Apps
Introduced the Softaculous one-click installer, letting users deploy WordPress, Joomla, and 400+ apps in minutes.
2026 — 500K+ Websites
Over half a million websites now call FreeHostingStar home. Still free. Still ad-free on your site. Still growing.
