About Us
We're an officially classified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization powered by a community of hobbyists that offer full-featured web hosting services for free.
- We won't try to upsell you to any paid plans but if you appreciate our service we encourage you to make a donation.
- We own our own hardware, which we operate out of a professional datacenter in Silicon Valley. Having full-stack access enables us to offer features like unmetered bandwidth and unlimited domains.
- We’re supported by an active community of volunteers who you can find on our support forums, in our IRC chat room, and even via telephone.
- We’ve been offering free web hosting services to the community for over 12 years.
Our service is not free to run, and in fact in the last year we lost money. Please help support our mission of providing full-featured web hosting for free by donating today.

Testimonials
Absolutely amazing. Free web space users get a great Cpanel with everything from domain protection to [Softaculous] to installation scripts to email accounts... the features list goes on and on... Unlimited subdomains, unlimited mysql databases, unlimited ftp accounts... and everything is completely FREE. ... The support is great - the admin usually responds to my posts in less than a day, and it is always a helpful response. I definitely recommend this host.

This site is really great. It supplies more than enough bandwidth for any needs, and more than enough space for forums, blogs, and the like. ... The server is really fast (except when someone abuses the service) and is reliable. While no host is 100% reliable, HelioHost really comes through...and all for free! I highly recommend giving HelioHost a try!
