About the category

Free hosting for developers

A curated selection: Free hosting for developers. We picked providers matching these criteria and sorted them by rating and real reviews.

What matters about this combination of criteria: Free plans suit tests and learning but come with limitations. Developers need root access, OS choice and an API for automation.

Bottom line: for most projects in Ukraine the ideal VPS means NVMe storage, a 99.9%+ SLA, a convenient panel and support in your language. Start with the ranking leaders above and compare them side by side.

How we test

  • 1We measure performance across plans
  • 2We check support response times
  • 3We read real reviews, not “we love everything”
  • 4We analyse refund policies
  • 5We update the ranking monthly

Frequently asked questions

Yes, but with limits: up to 1–5 GB disk, capped bandwidth, often no custom domain or SSL, sometimes with ads. Good for learning and tests, not for production projects.
Usually: instability, slow support, ads on your site, PHP/MySQL limits and the risk of account deletion for inactivity. For production it's an unjustified risk.
A KVM VPS with root access, any-OS choice, the ability to upload a custom ISO and an API/CLI for code-based management. NVMe disks speed up builds and database work.
Yes, some providers offer hourly billing — handy for test environments needed for a few hours. Create, test, delete — you pay only for the runtime.

Неплохой хостинг провайдер. Арендуем у них дедик. Сервер предоставили невероятно быстро, помогли запустить бесплатно. Доступ стабильный, качественный, работает слаженно.

Отличный хостинг за свои деньги. Пару раз приходилось по своей вине ночью с поддержкой общаться - без проблем. Помогли, разжевали. Спасибо вам.

Очень быстро реагируют на тикеты, в любой момент ответят на Ваш вопрос. В общем лучшей поддержки я еще не видел, в сравнении с моим предыдущем хостингом где за поддержку нужно было платить если что-то серьезное, то это небо и земля.
