Free hosting. Any change, £3. Your files, free.

Built a simple HTML site? I'll host it for nothing. Need something changed? I'll do it myself, large or small, for a flat £3. Or send me your new files and I'll upload them free.

§01 — The offer

Three options.
No surprises.

Hosting is free. I make changes for £3 each. Or send your own files and I upload them for nothing. Keep scrolling; the cards stack.

  • Perfect if you or your designer edits the code
£0/ always

§02 — Also available

Got a website already? Bring it with you.

If your site is on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or anything else, there are two ways to move it here. Either way it ends up as plain HTML: every page, image and font, with the links fixed. Then it's hosted free.

The converter is software I wrote myself. It's free for anyone hosted with me and runs on Mac. Need Windows or Linux? Just ask.

§03 — How it works

Four steps.
No accounts. No control panels.

  1. 01

    Send your files

    Email me your HTML site. A zip is perfect, or point me at a folder.

  2. 02

    I put it online

    Hosted under your own domain with HTTPS. You get a link back when it's live.

  3. 03

    Need a change?

    Email what you want changed and I'll do it for £3. Or send updated files and I upload them free.

  4. 04

    Job done

    I make it live and reply when it's done. £3 if I do the work, £0 if you send the files.

Perfect for some.

It's for people who want a simple website online without paying monthly fees or learning a dashboard.

No.01
£0.00/month

Pay only when you change something

No lock-in

Your files are yours. Walk away whenever and I'll send everything across.

No.06

HTML sites only

I host static HTML sites. If your job needs WordPress, a database or a full shop, I'll tell you up front.

§07 — Where your site actually lives

A real data centre.
Not a PC in a cupboard.

Your site runs on a server I rent from Hetzner, in their data centre in Falkenstein, Germany. Not on a machine in my house.

A lot of “one-person hosting” quietly runs off home broadband and a desktop tower. If the power cuts out or the router resets, the site goes down with it. That's not how this works.

Hetzner Online is a German hosting company. Their data centre park has redundant UPS and backup power, a redundant feed from the substation, N+2 cooling, 24/7 video surveillance and electronic access control. It's certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by an outside auditor, SOCOTEC. And being in Germany means your files stay inside the EU, where GDPR applies.

§08 — Pricing

Three prices.
That's the list.

You'll always see the price before any work starts. Pay by bank transfer or PayPal.

§09 — The promises

Four things you can hold me to

01I reply myself, usually the same day. There's no support queue, because there's no queue.

02The price is agreed before any work starts. You'll never get a number you didn't see coming.

03Your files are always yours. Ask, and I'll send the lot. No fees, no fuss, no hard feelings.

04If I'm not the right fit for your project, I'll tell you on day one and suggest who might be.

§11 — The small print, out loud

Quick
questions.

Can't see yours? Email me and I'll answer it myself.

What kind of websites can you host?

Static HTML websites: sites built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images. If your site is a folder of files you can open in a browser, I can host it. I don't host WordPress, databases or full e-commerce shops.

Is it really free?

Yes. Hosting costs you nothing. I only charge £3 when you ask me to change something. If you never want a change, you never pay anything.

What counts as one £3 change?

One self-contained job from one email. Updating a phone number is one change. Swapping three photos in one email is also one change. If an email asks for ten unrelated things across the whole site, I'll come back to you and we'll agree a fair number.

What if I make the changes myself?

Send me your updated files: a zip, a folder link, whatever's easiest. I'll upload them and put them live. No charge, ever. The £3 only applies when you want me to do the work.

Where are the servers? Is this hosted from your house?

No. Your site runs on a server I rent from Hetzner, in their ISO/IEC 27001-certified data centre in Falkenstein, Germany. I run the business from Somerset, but your site doesn't depend on my home internet or power.

How do I pay?

Bank transfer or PayPal. I send a short note confirming what's being done and the amount before I start.

What if I want to leave?

I'll send you the full set of your website files and you take them anywhere you like. No fees, no fuss.

I already have a website elsewhere. Can you move it?

Yes. I'll turn your existing website into plain HTML for £5, then host it here for free. Send me the address of your current site and I'll do the rest. Or ask for my converter and do it yourself, free.

Can you build the site for me too?

Yes. My not-for-profit web design service, LaunchSite, builds websites for free and hosts them here. Email me and ask.
