If I don't have my own hosting provider, can I still host with WPD?

We have discontinued our free hosting service. This was a feature that we developed for the 2008 30 Day Challenge so that students following the course would be able to get started quickly with little trouble. Your existing websites on our servers will not be affected.

The blogs we were hosting were on shared domains, which meant that when one person violated Google's code of conduct, many of our customers would immediately be blacklisted from Google. Requiring each customer to provide their own unique domain is the only way to resolve this issue, so you will need to sign up with a hosting service to host your websites.

Here is a list of hosting companies that we can support:

WPD Supported Hosting Providers

1. Hostgator (must include DB access - without @ in ftp)
2. Midphase
3. BlueHost (using Ioncube config video)
4. HostMonster (using Ioncube config video)
5. Dreamhost
6. Other cPanel hosts


Hosting Providers NOT Supported

1. GoDaddy
2. 1and1
3. Powerweb
4. NetFirms
5. HostGo
6. 000webhost.com

Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.
