Free hosting trials: choosing the right product

Every hosting product has a free 14-day trial with no card. Choose the product you came for, change it before you start, or skip the trial entirely to buy or sell on the marketplace.

Our hosting products each come with a free 14-day trial. We never ask for a card, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.

Which products have a free trial

  • Zinn® Managed WordPress — WordPress and WooCommerce sites.
  • Footprint-Free (PBN) Hosting — up to five sites on the PBN 5 package.
  • Web & PHP Hosting — PHP sites and one-click applications such as Joomla.
  • Application Hosting — one application such as Joomla, Drupal or Laravel.
  • Agency Hosting — up to three client sites.
  • Zinn® Web Hosting — simple web hosting on our own servers.

Servers (cloud and VPS) do not have a free trial: a server needs a card before it is created.

Products that need no trial

These have a free plan, or need only your account:

  • Buying or selling on the marketplace — browse sites, stores and services for sale, or list
  • your own site for sale. Open Marketplace or Sell in the app. Nothing trial-related is created.

  • Zinn® Boards, uptime monitoring, Zinn® Chat, Zinn® SEO and our free WordPress
  • plugins have free plans.

Start the right trial

When you sign up from one of our product pages, the trial for that product is chosen for you. If you signed up without choosing a product, the app asks which product you want — it never picks one for you.

Not what you were looking for?

On the trial card, press Not what you're looking for? Choose a different product. You see every product on one screen:

  1. Press Start free trial on the hosting product you want, or
  2. Press Open on a product with a free plan, or
  3. Choose Browse sites, stores and services for sale or List a site or store for sale to
  4. use the marketplace without a trial.

To go straight to the marketplace, press Buy or sell on the marketplace on the trial card.
