Why choose usBuilt on real testing,
Built on real testing,
measured in renewals
Most 'best free hosting' lists are affiliate pages with the awkward parts left out. We sign up, deploy, hit the limits, and write down what actually happens when the free window closes.
The catch, stated
Every free tier lists its real limitation — the bandwidth cap, the cold start, the card they ask for later — not just the headline number.
Renewal over teaser
A $1.98 first year that renews at $12.29 is shown as exactly that. The renewal price is the one that decides if a host suits your project.
Built for your stack
Filter by the languages, frameworks and databases each provider genuinely supports, from Next.js and Astro to Django, Laravel and Postgres.
Re-checked weekly
Free tiers change quietly and often. Every price, limit and catch in this directory is re-verified on a schedule, by hand.
About HostFinder
A directory built by people who got burned
HostFinder started as a spreadsheet. We kept signing up for "free" hosting, then discovering the bandwidth cap, the year-two renewal, or the credit card that was required after all.
So we started writing it all down — what each tier actually includes, what it costs the moment it stops being free, and what the catch is. That spreadsheet became this directory. Every provider here has been checked by hand, and the numbers get re-checked weekly.
- Checked by hand — No scraped pricing pages — a person confirms every tier.
- Re-checked weekly — Free tiers change quietly. We re-verify on a schedule.
- No pay-to-rank — Order comes from the data, never from a provider's budget.
