Self Hosted WordPress site for Free
25
Self-Hosted WordPress sites require purchase of hosting from a site like GoDaddy, BlueHost or SiteGround.
While these are great options, beginners are often averse to spending hundreds of dollars to get hosting when they are starting. In addition, these companies have gained a bad reputation because they pack a large number of sites on less than capable servers (which they try to compensate for by having highly lucrative affiliate commissions).
Fortunately, there is an alternative.
Amazon AWS is the backbone for some of the largest companies on the internet (like Netflix) and Amazon AWS offers a 'free-tier' i.e. some of their services are free for the first 12 months. These services are plenty to run a WordPress site.
However, it takes some technical expertise to actually setup a WordPress site on Amazon AWS.
That's where I come in.
I can help you setup a WordPress site on Amazon AWS and allow you to take advantage of free hosting for 12 months.
In addition, your hosting fee after 12 months will be lower than GoDaddy / BlueHost / Site Ground. You can run your site for as little as 5$ per month and handle hundreds of thousands of visitors to your site.
Note: At the end of this service, you get a fresh install of a WordPress site on a very stable server configuration. This service doesn't include design and development of a website. I offer this service outside Simbi. Get in touch with me to learn more.
