Free Website Hosting!
Manifesto: blogging on your own custom domain should be either free, or at most $10/year (same cost as a domain).
- we believe web hosting solutions are wasting computation resources.
- we believe high performance web hosting can use 100x less RAM
- Our goal is a budget of 250 KB RAM per request.
- Wordpress with no plugins takes 22 MB RAM per request.
- Wordpress with 10-20 plugins takes 100 MB RAM per request.
- we believe high performance web hosting can serve 100x more requests with the same CPU-time.
- we believe high performance web hosting can use 100x less RAM
A free tier should be as good as the premium tier of Wix or Wordpress:
- Able to connect custom domain! No silly subdomain shenanigans like
asdf.wordpress.comorasdf.wixsite.comorasdf.my.canva.site - No sticky ad banner! (just one small ad in the footer, like
Powered by PageZest, free website hosting) - Some limit on disk storage (1 GB?), requests per second (10 requests per second?).
- free WYSIWYG website builder.
We have recently released the PageZest CMS as open source, proving this is possible (TODO: link to the blog post announcing open source).
Our next milestone is to offer a managed, hosted solution of the PageZest CMS. Pricing is:
- For low traffic sites – FREE. Why not??
- For medium to high traffic sites: $10/year (as cheap as owning a domain).
