Is 1 Free Website really free to use?
Yes. Every guide on the site is free to read, with no paywall and no sign-up required. We make money through affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission when you choose to sign up with a host, registrar, or tool through one of our links, at no extra cost to you. The guidance is the same whether or not you use those links.
How does 1 Free Website make money?
We are reader-supported through affiliate links. When we point to a host, registrar, or tool we would use ourselves and you sign up through that link, we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. We disclose this clearly on every page. We do not take payment to change our recommendations, and we say plainly when a free option is the better fit.
Are the links on this site affiliate links?
Some are. Where we link to a host, registrar, or tool, that link may be an affiliate link, which means we may earn a small commission if you sign up through it. We mark this with a site-wide disclosure and only point to options we would genuinely use to launch our own site. Plenty of our links, such as the internal links between guides, are not affiliate links at all.
Do you offer free web hosting yourselves?
No. We are an independent guide, not a hosting company, so we do not run servers or host your site for you. What we do is explain how free and paid hosting actually work, where the catches are, and which option fits your project, then point you at reputable providers. If you want us to build or set up a site for you, use the contact form to request a quote.
Can you build a website for me?
Yes. Beyond the free guides, we take on website work: building a new site, redesigning an existing one, setting up a store, moving hosts or domains, and ongoing maintenance. Use the quote form on the contact page to tell us what you need, and we will reply with a plain-English plan and a no-obligation quote. There is never any sales pressure.
Is the advice on this site personalized to my situation?
The guides are general information written to help most people most of the time, not personalized advice for your exact setup. Because provider plans, prices, and terms change and every site is a little different, treat the guides as a clear starting point, confirm current details on the provider's own site, and use the contact form if you want advice tailored to your specific project.
