FreeHosts features

  • Hand-curated listings. Each hosting option is manually vetted for genuine zero-cost service.
  • User tips and reviews. Real user feedback helps you avoid trial-and-error.
  • Use-case filters. Filter hosts by personal site, bot, app or Discord community.
  • Side-by-side comparison. Compare free hosts on features, reliability and limits.
  • No hidden upsells. Only truly free options are shown, with no confusing paid add-ons.

Light Cloud features

  • One-click deploy. Connect a repo, push, and Light Cloud builds and deploys static sites or containers automatically.
  • Managed Postgres. Provision a database with region and size; credentials are encrypted and wired to the app.
  • Branch previews. Every branch and pull request gets its own password-protected preview URL.
  • Scale-to-zero. Idle containers stop running and incur no cost; they wake on the next request.
  • AI-driven deploy. Use Claude Code to deploy by asking a natural-language command.
  • Built-in CDN. Static assets are served globally via a CDN with automatic SSL.
