Free Hosting FAQ

Free web hosting in South Africa — your questions answered

Is there truly free web hosting in South Africa?

Yes, global free hosting services like 000webhost, InfinityFree, and Netlify offer a free hosting plan accessible from South Africa. However, none have South African servers, so your website loads slowly for local visitors. The best free web hosting options still come with forced ads, no free domain name, limited storage (500MB–1GB), and no customer support. For secure web hosting for a real South African website, the minimum viable hosting and website package is R99/mo.

How do I get a free website and hosting in South Africa?

You can create a free website on platforms like WordPress.com, Wix, or Google Sites — but you'll use their subdomain (yourname.wordpress.com), have limited features, and display their ads. For a professional website with your own domain, sign up for web hosting at Allanux Web from R99/mo. You get a free .co.za domain, free SSL, free website builder, and free website migration included.

What are the limitations of free web hosting?

Free hosting typically limits you to 500MB–1GB storage, 5–10GB monthly bandwidth, no custom domain name, no email hosting, no SSL certificate, forced advertising, limited PHP/MySQL support, and community-only support. Your website can be suspended without notice. Free hosting servers are shared with thousands of other sites, causing slow performance and frequent downtime.

Is free web hosting safe for my business website?

No. Free hosting platforms don't offer SSL certificates, regular backups, or server-level security. Your website files sit on shared servers with minimal protection. For any business website — even a simple one — you need SSL encryption, daily backups, and a hosting provider you can contact when something breaks. Paid hosting from R99/mo includes all of these.

Can I host a WordPress website for free?

WordPress.com offers a free plan with a subdomain and 1GB storage. Self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org) requires web hosting — you can use a free hosting service, but performance will be poor and you'll face web hosting problems like downtime and slow loading. For a proper WordPress website with plugins, themes, and a custom domain, the best web hosting for WordPress at Allanux Web starts at R99/mo with one-click WordPress installation, LiteSpeed caching, and Windows hosting alternatives available.

What is the cheapest web hosting in South Africa?

The cheapest reliable web hosting in South Africa starts at R99/mo at Allanux Web (Starter Cloud plan). This includes a free .co.za domain, free SSL, 10GB NVMe storage, 10 email accounts, and LiteSpeed servers. Other South African hosting providers start at R49–R89/mo but typically charge extra for SSL, domain privacy, and website migration.

Do I get a free domain with web hosting?

Yes. Every Allanux Web hosting plan includes a free .co.za domain registration for the first year. The domain is registered in your name — you own it completely. Free hosting services don't include domain registration; you'd need to buy a domain separately (R89–R299/yr) and point it to the free server.

Can I upgrade from free hosting to paid hosting later?

Yes, but it's not seamless. Moving from a free hosting service to paid hosting requires migrating your website files, databases, and DNS. If you used a free subdomain, you'll need to register a real domain and update all your links. Starting with paid hosting from day one avoids this migration headache. We offer free website migration if you're moving from any hosting provider.

How much storage do I need for a website?

A typical small business website uses 1–5GB. A WordPress blog with images uses 2–10GB. An online store with product photos can use 10–50GB. Free hosting gives you 500MB–1GB — barely enough for a basic page. Our Starter Cloud plan starts with 10GB NVMe storage; the Business Cloud goes up to 80GB.

What happens if my free hosting shuts down?

If a free hosting platform shuts down or suspends your account, your website and all its files are gone — unless you kept your own backups. Free hosting services have no obligation to maintain your data. Paid hosting at Allanux Web includes daily off-site backups, 30-day retention, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Your website data is protected and recoverable.
