How to make a free website
Create your account
Go to WordPress.com and sign up for free — no credit card required. Choose a site name and you’ll get a free wordpress.com subdomain to get started.
Pick a theme
Browse dozens of free themes and choose one that fits your style or industry. Every theme works with any type of site — blog, portfolio, business, or store.
Build your pages
Use the block editor to add and arrange content — text, images, video, buttons, and more. No code needed. Start with the homepage and add pages as you go.
Let AI do the heavy lifting
Not sure where to start? Use the WordPress.com AI assistant to generate your site’s copy, suggest layouts, and write your first posts — then edit to make it yours.
Publish your site
Hit publish and your site is live instantly, hosted and secured by WordPress.com.
Grow when you’re ready
Add a custom domain, unlock more storage, or enable monetization tools by upgrading to a paid plan — whenever it makes sense for you. The free plan never expires.
Frequently asked questions
Is WordPress.com really free?
Yes. WordPress.com offers a free plan with no time limit — no credit card required. You get a hosted website, built-in security, and access to themes and blocks right away. Free plans include a wordpress.com subdomain (yoursite.wordpress.com). You can upgrade to a paid plan at any time to add a custom domain, more storage, or additional features.
Is WordPress.com free to use?
Yes — WordPress.com offers a free plan with no expiration and no credit card required. You can build and publish a site at no cost. Paid plans are available if you want a custom domain, more storage, or additional features, but the free plan has no time limit.
What do you get with a free WordPress.com website?
The free plan includes a fully hosted website on WordPress.com’s managed infrastructure, an SSL certificate, access to dozens of themes, and the full block editor for building pages and posts. You also get basic analytics, spam protection, and the ability to publish unlimited posts. There’s no software to install or server to manage.
How do I make a website for free on WordPress.com?
Create an account at WordPress.com, choose a theme, and start publishing — it takes a few minutes. The block editor lets you add text, images, video, and more without writing code. You can start with a free plan and add a custom domain later when you’re ready.
What’s the difference between a free website builder and WordPress.com’s free plan?
Most free website builders lock your content inside a proprietary platform and charge to export it. WordPress.com is built on open-source WordPress, so your content is portable and you’re never locked in. You can export your posts and data at any time, and move to any WordPress host if your needs grow.
Does the free plan include web hosting?
Yes. WordPress.com handles all hosting on its infrastructure — no separate hosting account needed. Your site runs on a platform that powers millions of websites, with automatic backups, uptime monitoring, and security updates included.
Can I get a free domain with WordPress.com?
Free plans include a wordpress.com subdomain (e.g., yoursite.wordpress.com). A custom domain (e.g., yoursite.com) is included on all paid plans starting with Personal. You can register a new domain or connect one you already own.
How is WordPress.com different from WordPress.org?
WordPress.com is a fully managed hosting platform — you sign up and your site is ready to go. WordPress.org is the open-source software you can self-host, which means managing your own server, security, and updates. WordPress.com runs on that same software and handles all of that for you.
How much does WordPress.com cost?
WordPress.com is free to start. Paid plans add features like a custom domain, more storage, and monetization tools. All plans include hosting, security, and support — there’s no separate hosting bill.
