Latest PHP Versions

Latest PHP Versions

Free Subdomain

Free Subdomain

Every account gets a free subdomain "yourproject.googiehost.com" live within minutes of signup with SSL auto-activated. Already own a domain? Connect any .com, .net, or .org domain via DNS in DirectAdmin. Free PHP hosting and free domain support, both included, no extra cost.

DirectAdmin Control Panel

I've tried 6 different free hosts. GoogieHost is the first that truly delivers on uptime and speed. My WordPress site loads faster than it did on a $20/mo plan elsewhere.

The AI website builder blew my mind. I described my bakery in two sentences and had a complete site with images and copy ready in under a minute.

Migrated our nonprofit from Wix the team handled everything. Load times dropped from 4s to under 1 second. Our donation page conversions went up 23% that month.

testimonials
James L. Nonprofit Director, Canada

Support responds in minutes. I submitted a ticket at 2am and had a resolution by 2:15am. That's genuinely rare even from hosts charging $30/month.

The control panel is the cleanest I've used. Managing 12 client sites used to take all day. With GoogieHost it's a 20-minute job. I recommend it to every web agency.

Everything about free web hosting

We understand you have questions, so we've provided clear answers below. You won't find any marketing fluff or hidden fine print here, just the honest, direct information you need to make an informed decision without any unnecessary complexity or confusion about our free website hosting.

Features
Yes. GoogieHost free hosting supports PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3. Select and switch your PHP version directly from the DirectAdmin control panel, no support ticket needed, no waiting, no version locked per account.
Features
Yes. Every free PHP hosting account includes MySQL database creation and full phpMyAdmin access at zero cost. Create multiple databases, run SQL queries, import and export data, and manage schema, all included on the free plan without any paid upgrade.
Features
Yes. GoogieHost free hosting supports full .htaccess configuration and mod_rewrite for URL rewriting. Configure custom routing rules, set redirect rules, and implement clean URLs for PHP frameworks and custom applications without restrictions.
Billing
Yes. There is no trial period, no 30-day countdown, and no credit card required. Your free PHP hosting account stays active as long as it remains in good standing, permanently free, with no payment triggered at any point on the free plan.
Billing
No. GoogieHost does not inject ads, popups, or platform branding onto any hosted website including free PHP hosting accounts. Your application displays only what your code outputs, nothing added by the hosting provider.
Billing
If your application needs more storage, SSH access, or additional server resources, you can upgrade to a paid hosting plan. GoogieHost has independently reviewed 200+ hosting providers, so you can find the right upgrade based on verified PHP hosting performance data.
Technical
Yes. PHP frameworks that run on shared hosting environments are supported. Upload your framework files via FTP, configure your PHP version in DirectAdmin, and set up your .htaccess routing rules. Note that frameworks requiring SSH or Composer CLI access may require a paid hosting upgrade for full deployment workflow support.
Technical
Yes. FTP access and Cron Job scheduling are both included on the free PHP hosting plan. Manage file transfers with any FTP client and schedule automated PHP script execution via the Cron Jobs manager in DirectAdmin.
Billing
Yes. Connect any registered domain to your free PHP hosting account via DNS settings in DirectAdmin. Your application then runs on yourdomain.com with free SSL auto-activated. A free subdomain is also available immediately if you do not have a domain yet.
Technical
GoogieHost provides a knowledge base, ticketing system, and community support resources for all free plan users. Support covers PHP configuration, MySQL setup, DirectAdmin usage, FTP access, DNS management, and general hosting queries for PHP developers.
