If you’ve come this far, you’ve probably already decided to start a website or a personal blog, but you don’t want this to involve any expense, at least in the beginning, right? As you know, to create a website you need to register a domain and have a web hosting plan, well you have arrived at the site you were looking for. We present our new free hosting plans.
If you are still not sure if free hosting is what you need for your web project, keep reading! We explain when it is a good option to get free hosting, what limitations it may have and what we offer you at LucusHost.
When should I choose a free hosting plan?
We do not want to deceive you, a free web hosting plan is not recommended for any type of web project because it can end up being “small”. Imagine that you have an ecommerce with a lot of visits per month, that you want to install a specific operating system or your website simply needs certain space resources. In these cases, you probably already have an advanced or growing project, so you should opt for more professional plans such as our SSD Hosting or Elastic Hosting plans.
So what are free web hosting plans for?
After what we saw, I’m sure you already have an idea of why free hosting like ours is a good option. In any case, below we show you some examples to clear your doubts:
You want to create your first website
If you have a small business or want to make your brand known and have an online presence, it is a very good option. You can install the CMS you want such as WordPress or Joomla and you have a lot of templates available to choose from in the official repositories. You can create a very professional looking website, display your contact information, your products or create a blog for your business.
You have decided to launch your personal blog
It may be another option. If you want to show the world who you are, your passion or you want to launch a fashion blog, you can start with a free hosting plan.
Do you want to learn to program?
If you are studying or want to start programming, it is perfect for you. The server you will work on is compatible with PHP and MySQL and you will work with the cPanel control panel.
You are entering the world of WordPress
If you don’t have technical knowledge and want to start and learn with WordPress, don’t even think about it. You can install this content manager in a single click, upload templates and plugins, configure them, do tests… You have all the tools you need to launch any website in WordPress.
What does LucusHost’s free hosting plan offer?
If you haven’t taken a look at our website yet, we explain it to you here. Our free hosting plan has the same technology as our NVME SSD Hosting plans, that is, it uses LiteSpeed, Imunify360, CageFS, etc., but has a lower resource allocation. Below, we show you the main features:
NVMe and LiteSpeed SSDs
We want you to have a fast, powerful and secure website, that’s why we offer you the best technology. NVMe SSD drives for more speed, LiteSpeed server for more performance and power and, of course, security measures at the server level with Imunify360 so that nothing and no one puts all your work at risk.
5000 MB monthly traffic
With the free hosting plan you will have 5000 MB of data transfer available, which we will automatically renew every month. However, if at any time you are close to reaching the limit, we will notify you to prevent your account from being suspended.
No advertising
Nor do we want to use your website to promote our brand or introduce advertising on it. We just want you to try it and if the service meets what you were looking for, stay with us as long as you want. Yes, as much as you want and completely free!
free ssl
As you heard, if at the moment you do not want to get an SSL security certificate to validate your domain or your organization, you can activate the SSL certificate completely free of charge in the control panel of your hosting.
24/7 technical support
We don’t want to abandon you at any time. If you have questions or have any problem when managing your service, simply write to us and we will help you. We are available 24/7 by phone and email!
1 email account
In addition, free hosting allows you to create an email account with your domain from cPanel. Once created, you can manage your mailbox through webmail.
Premium Backup
In your client area you will have access to Premium Backup, a tool that automatically makes two backup copies of your website per day. This way, if something goes wrong, you can go back in just a few clicks.
3 months free!
You can use this free hosting for 3 months to host your website or simply while you develop it. Once these three months pass, if you like the service, you can upgrade to one of our NVMe SSD Hosting plans or, for example, WordPress Hosting, in the case of using this application. The change is completely automatic and you will keep all the content as you had it.
And if my project grows, can I change hosting before the 3 months of service end?
Of course you do, and that’s a very good sign! If you start with our free plan and your project begins to grow or you want to host more web pages or need more monthly traffic, you can easily upgrade to a professional hosting plan.
This change does not involve any data migration, it is a completely automatic process. This way you won’t have to worry about the technical part at any time. Your website and all your work will remain intact.
In conclusion
As we just saw, our free hosting plan is like a professional plan, but with more limited resources. That is, an ideal accommodation if you are starting a website, want to create a personal blog or simply need a space to start learning how WordPress (or any other CMS) works or learn how to program.
