Free Hosting
A real web hosting account on Xisto infrastructure — completely free. Perfect for students, developers, and anyone building their first website. Your site lives at yourname.trap17.com.
Sign-up in advance — coming soon. Join the waitlist now.
A real hosting account on proven infrastructure. Not a website builder, not a subdomain on someone else's broken server.
Your site is instantly accessible at yourname.trap17.com — a domain with 20+ years of history and strong global reputation. Point your own custom domain for free too.
250 MB SSD disk space — enough for a static site, a PHP portfolio, a lean WordPress blog, or a personal project. No file type restrictions.
A full MySQL database with phpMyAdmin access. Run WordPress, a custom PHP app, or any CMS that needs a database backend — all included for free.
5 GB of monthly transfer — enough for thousands of page views per month. Stay active on the Xisto community to earn bonus bandwidth automatically.
Upload files directly from the CWP browser-based File Manager — no software needed. Or connect with FileZilla or any FTP client using your FTP account credentials.
CentOS Web Panel — a modern, full-featured control panel for managing files, databases, PHP version, FTP accounts, and SSL certificates. Clean UI, no learning curve.
Your site gets HTTPS via Let's Encrypt at no charge. Auto-renewed every 90 days — no configuration needed, no expiry surprises.
Full PHP support with multiple version options (7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2). Run WordPress, CodeIgniter, or any standard PHP application out of the box.
Your hosting account is linked to your xisto.com/discuss/ profile. Post helpful replies, earn hosting points that convert to extra disk space and bandwidth — automatically.
We believe in complete transparency. Here's exactly what free hosting doesn't include.
Free accounts do not include email hosting. You cannot create you@yoursite.trap17.com mailboxes, and php mail() is disabled on the server.
Use instead: Free SMTP relay services — Brevo (300 emails/day free), SendGrid, or Mailgun. Configure PHPMailer or WP Mail SMTP to use their servers.
Disk and database space are capped at 250 MB each. Enough for lean sites — not for heavy media libraries or large e-commerce stores.
Outgrowing it? Upgrade to Shared Hosting from $3.33/mo — we migrate everything for free.
Your custom domain can point to your website, but not to a mailbox here. Need professional email? Try Xisto Zimbra from $79/mo.
Free accounts use the community forum at xisto.com/discuss/ — 100,000+ members. No guaranteed SLA. Any paid plan includes ticket-based priority support.
When your project outgrows free hosting, moving to a paid plan takes minutes — not days.
More storage, email accounts, backups, and CloudLinux security. The natural next step.
Full root access, KVM, dedicated resources, and unlimited bandwidth for serious projects.
Host multiple websites under your own brand. WHM + cPanel + white-label branding.
