We’re happy to announce that we’re officially moved over to our new data center in Buffalo, NY! No customers noticed any downtime that were already pointing to our nameservers. Our new servers feature Intel Xeon CPU E3-1270 V2 processors with 32GB of RAM. This will help support the increase in demand for our free hosting and help stability across the network. Happy free hosting!

Server uptime check

Ever wonder how your server is doing? We’ve now implemented a new feature where users can check to see how their server is doing. This feature checks the uptime every 5 minutes.

Publishing an uptime page also shows the skeptical users how awesome our free hosting actually is! You can locate the uptime page by scrolling all the way to the bottom of our page and click Server Uptime Last 30 Days.

Go ahead, check out how great our uptime is!

softaculous

I’m happy to announce that today WeHostFree is offering Softaculous on every single hosting plan; Free or Paid!

What is Softaculous? Softaculous is a wonderful option you can locate in your control panel. It allows you to install software onto your website with the click of a button! You no longer have to fear installing WordPress. Simply log into your control panel and click the icon.

Softaculous currently offers over 300 programs you can install on your website! Whether you’re looking for a shopping cart, forum, blog, etc. I’m sure you’ll be able to find it!

Before Softaculous, we were assisting users with their WordPress installations, so this should make things much easier for everyone. We still are offering WordPress support, so should you run into any problems we can offer support starting at $9.99.

To browse the catalog of software, log into your control panel, scroll all the way down to the bottom, and click the Softaculous icon.

Here is a screenshot:

The second arrow points to the most popular software. If what you’re looking for isn’t here, then refer to the first arrow.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to open a support ticket.

WordPress Installation

With over 60 million websites using WordPress to power their website (much like this post you’re reading right now!) we wanted to offer a service that would host your blog for free. WeHostFree was created to help webmasters, like ourselves, bring their website online as cheap as possible.

WordPress is a free software that you can install. You do have to know some programming in order to get the software to install on your site. However, we do offer a simple solution for installing WordPress. Once you log into your hosting’s cPanel account with us, you can click Site Software >> WordPress. This will offer a painless install which takes care of all the leg work for you.

We offer a 3rd option. If you are still unable to figure out WordPress, have questions, not sure where to begin, etc. We do offer WordPress installation / support for a one-time fee of $9.99. This is very cheap considering that if you were to hire a programmer, they’d probably charge $20 minimum for just the install and offer no support.

We want to see our customers succeed! Should you need this service, please open a Sales ticket and we’ll be in touch!
