Free Web Hosting plan with web site builder – World Lite

Since PlanetHoster was first founded (in 2007!), our mission has been to provide the latest web hosting technologies and the best value for money on the market. Over the past 10 years, we’ve seen many web hosts offer ridiculously low rates at the expense of quality. We know that quality service is only possible with high-performance infrastructure and a competent team. And these come at a minimum cost!

Instead of offering low-cost service with thousands of domains hosted on overloaded servers, we decided to offer a web hosting service that is 100% free, without ads or throttling. No, this isn’t an April Fool’s Day gag😊

Introducing World Lite free web hosting service

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we’re pleased to announce the launch of our free web hosting solution. Think of it as our contribution to the web community.

By free, we don’t mean useless/throttled/flooded with ads. At PlanetHoster, we mean that, instead of offering low-cost web hosting (less than €6 or $9.60 CAD), we prefer to provide a free service.

The free version of our World web hosting platform is called World Lite. It’s a free, high-quality web hosting service ideal for creating blogs/forums (more than 180 CMS available: WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, etc.), webpages, CV pages, etc. A free SiteBuilder is also included! The possibilities of our new hosting service are endless, so we’d love to get your feedback. Please let us know how you expect to use this product.

Domain name

When you submit an order, you will be asked to choose a subdomain. Many options will be available.

After you order World Lite service, you can order a custom domain name via our website:

https://www.planethoster.net/en/Domain-Names

By adding this domain name via the “parked/alias domain” option in the World panel, you can improve indexing over time and increase the value of your website/domain name.

You can add an unlimited number of parked/alias domains (domains redirecting to the main site) with this solution. You can then use PlanetHoster’s DNS anycast for free. This option is very useful for managing all your domain names in the same place.

For example, you can manage a domain name registered with a service provider other than PlanetHoster by entering the following DNS:

nsa.planethsoter.net
nsb.planethoster.net
nsc.planethoster.net

and by adding the domain via parked/alias domain, you can manage redirections and DNS zones using the World panel or cPanel.

However, we limit usage to one main website and two subdomains.

At any time, you can redirect your domain name(s) to a Facebook or LinkedIn page.

Mailbox

World Lite includes two mailboxes. If your needs change, you can transition to the paid version of World, which includes unlimited mailboxes.

SiteBuilder

We would like to help you develop an online presence. That’s why we are including a free tool to help you create quality websites. For more information, consult our latest article on PlanetHoster’s SiteBuilder (French only):
