Why pay anything for a personal site?

There are free ways to put a page online, and for some projects they’re perfect. What 99p a month buys is a site that’s properly yours: on your own domain, with no adverts, no platform branding and no account deleted for being quiet for a few months.

It’s also a real server to learn on. You can install WordPress one week, upload a static site the next, and run a small PHP or Python project on a subdomain — all on one account.

If you want to compare the options honestly, free hosting compared sets out what each kind of free host gives you, and what it costs you in other ways.

Personal website questions

Can I host more than one project?

Yes. Subdomains such as photos.yourname.co.uk are included, and a project on a different domain is a £0.99 one-off extra domain. Each app that needs a database may need an extra one (£0.99, one-off).

Can I host a React, Vue or static site?

Yes. Upload the build output to your website folder. Hosting static sites

Can I run Node.js or Python?

Yes: Python apps and Node.js apps (several versions) both run. Ruby isn’t supported.

Is there any advertising on my site?

Never. Traxio adds nothing to your pages.

What if I stop using it?

Cancel in the client area whenever you like. There’s no minimum term and no cancellation fee.
