Free website hosting with your own domain name
A domain you own, with HTTPS and no expiry, on a plan that costs nothing. What it includes, how to connect your domain, and which other free hosts offer the same.

Is there free website hosting with a custom domain?
Yes. DashPloy's free plan includes 1 custom domain, never expires and needs no card. It holds 2 websites with 100 MB of storage and 100,000 requests a month, and your AI assistant publishes the site for you.
What the free plan includes
- 1 custom domain, with HTTPS issued automatically and the www version set up alongside it
- 2 websites, each with a free address ending in .dashploy.app as well
- 100 MB of storage, up to 50 MB per website
- 100,000 requests a month. A request is the page or any one image, font or script on it, so a single visit is several.
- Code that runs on a server, for forms that save what people send, logins and small apps
- Every version kept, so any earlier one can be put back in one step
No card, no trial period and no expiry. Compare every plan.
Connecting your domain
Get your free code
Sign up with a Google account. The code is on your dashboard straight away, with a copy button.
Let your AI publish the site
Paste the line from your dashboard into an assistant that can publish and describe your website, or give it the files you already have. Which AI can publish lists them.
Ask it to connect your domain
It tells you the record to add where you bought the name, usually one line. The certificate follows on its own once the record is live, and the first few minutes can look broken while the change spreads.
Which other free hosts include a custom domain
Each row is taken from that company's own pages and dated. Several include one, and some that do are the better choice for somebody who does not want an AI doing the publishing.

Questions
Do I need a credit card?
No. The free plan needs no card and does not expire. You only pay if you choose a bigger plan.
Can I connect a second domain?
A second custom domain needs Starter, which includes 2. Pro includes 5.
Does my domain get HTTPS?
Yes. The certificate is issued automatically once your domain points at your site, and renewed without you doing anything. There is nothing to buy.
What about the www version of my domain?
Connect the bare name and the www version is set up alongside it, sending visitors to the same site. It works the other way round too.
Can I buy a domain through DashPloy?
Yes, and it is pointed at your site for you, so there is nothing to configure. The renewal price is always shown next to the first-year price, because the two often differ by a lot.
