There is free web hosting for churches! Yes, totally free. It’s little-known and we often forget so here’s a quick post to share an option with you.
Dreamhost for Non-profits – This is a major host that generously hosts US-based non-profits for free. This includes churches that can present a 501(c)(3) determination letter from the IRS. Dreamhost has their own proprietary control panel.
Should you use a free host? It depends. If you can pay for hosting, do pay for hosting (we recommend ChurchHost). I say that mainly because having some “skin in the game” will go some way towards ensuring that the service your receive is what it should be. However, if your church only needs basic hosting and is in a budget pinch then give this free WordPress hosting plan a try.
See Church Web Hosting Rated and Ranked for a list of hosts that our customers use. Also see Free Church Websites for how you can not only get free hosting but also a free theme and domain name.
