InfinityFree – 993 recensioni dei clienti: Analisi (agosto 2026) - IT

Caratteristiche e servizi

InfinityFree does one thing. It gives away shared hosting, permanentemente, with no trial clock and no upsell banner on your pages. The owner started in 2011, launched Grendel Hosting in 2012, then moved onto iFastNet’s platform and rebranded in 2016. A partire da giugno 2026, he puts the total at over half a million active websites.

Tipi di hosting offerti

• Free shared hosting – the only product InfinityFree itself provides
• Free subdomains – 25+ extensions such as rf.gd, great-site.net, ct.ws and gt.tc
• DNS gratuito (Domain Name System, the lookup pointing a domain at a server) for domains bought elsewhere
• Premium cPanel hosting, VPS and dedicated servers – sold by iFastNet, a separate company

Nessuna registrazione di dominio, no reseller tier, nessun hosting di posta elettronica. Buy your domain elsewhere and point it here.

Caratteristiche principali evidenziate dai clienti

Reviewers keep returning to the same handful of things:

• No ads on your pages – the most repeated point in five-star reviews. Free hosts have historically paid their way by injecting banners into customer sites.
• Real PHP 8.3 e MySQL 8.0 / MariaDB 11.4 – enough for WordPress, Laravel or a hand-written PHP app. Most free platforms can’t do that.
• 400 MySQL databases and 5 GB di disco – generous for the price, though see the file limits below.
• Certificati SSL gratuiti – padlock included, no extra step and no charge.
• Softaculous (a one-click installer covering 400+ app) and the Site.pro website builder.
• Full .htaccess support – the config file controlling redirects and access rules. Many free hosts lock it down.

Instant setup gets mentioned a lot too. No waiting list, no approval, nessuna carta. Sign up with an email address and you’re live in minutes.

Posizioni dei data center

Where are the servers? InfinityFree doesn’t publish this, so we looked it up. Every free subdomain resolves through a nameserver in London. The web servers sit in Newcastle sul Tyne, Inghilterra, on network AS34119 (Wildcard UK Limited), which is iFastNet’s own infrastructure. Reverse lookups return hostnames like sv90.ifastnet.com.

That’s one region, and nowhere else. A widely-circulated 2026 review claims the servers are in “the Netherlands and the United States.” Non lo sono. The operator is Dutch; the hardware is British. If your visitors are in Asia or South America, ogni richiesta attraversa un oceano.

Aspettative di prestazione

InfinityFree advertises 99.9% uptime. Its terms of service promise nothing of the kind, which we cover below. We found no benchmark data from a neutral source either. The speed figures circulating in 2026 come from blogs run by competing hosts. Those same pages get the server location and the hit limit wrong.

What we can say is structural. This is heavily shared hosting with per-account CPU, RAM and I/O caps, all enforced by suspension rather than throttling. A busy day doesn’t slow your site down. It switches your site off.

Esperienza del cliente

Attraverso 1,190 reviews the average is 3.9 fuori da 5. The distribution matters more than the average: 58% cinque stelle, 13% quattro stelle, 5% tre stelle, 5% due stelle e 19% una stella. Questo è 230 people rating a free service at the lowest possible score, which is striking for something nobody paid for.

Credit where it’s due on data quality. The review profile isn’t a paid subscription, and the platform notes the company hasn’t recently invited customers to review it. Nearly every hosting profile we analyse is invitation-driven, which quietly filters out unhappy users. This corpus arrived on its own.

Ciò che i clienti elogiano

The ad-free promise dominates. Reviewers who remember free hosting from the 2000s treat a clean page as remarkable, and say so repeatedly. A UK reviewer in July 2026 hosted a portfolio “without any restrictions I’ve noticed.”

Learning is the second theme. A Ukrainian developer in May 2026 praised hosting PHP, Laravel and PrestaShop demos free while learning backend work. Students and career-changers dominate the positive reviews, with Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, India and Malaysia heavily represented.

Stability surprises people. “Been using it for over a year now. Barely any downtime,” wrote an Indonesian reviewer in May 2026. Expectations start low, and small static sites clear them.

Reclami comuni

Suspensions are the biggest source of one-star reviews. They arrive without warning. They lock you out of the control panel as well as the site. And the explanation is often a resource limit you can’t inspect. A Swiss reviewer in June 2026 had four low-traffic static pages and a small WordPress site cut off for crossing a daily limit. He couldn’t log in.

What makes it sting is the lack of evidence. A Spanish reviewer in June 2026 reported a suspension for “automated uploading” on a site with no PHP and no server-side code. He says the company declined to show what triggered it.

Then there’s the advertising. Your site stays clean, the control panel doesn’t. InfinityFree’s own FAQ says the quiet part out loud: “We earn enough from ads on our main site and control panel to cover the costs of free hosting.” A Swedish reviewer in July 2026 described the panel as paid for “by viewing COUNTLESS, EXTREMELY annoying ads.”

Two more recur. Inactive accounts get deactivated then deleted, and several reviewers lost work that way. Peggio, a Pakistani reviewer in June 2026 found his suspended site redirecting visitors to suspended-domain.net, a page he says security tools flag as malicious.

Feedback della comunità (Reddit & Forum)

The community picture is unusual. The r/infinityfree subreddit is dormant, with a handful of posts, most two or three years old. Real discussion happens on InfinityFree’s own forum, where the owner posts under “Admin” and answers technical questions directly.

One finding matters more than the rest, and no other review we’ve seen mentions it. Su 15 Maggio 2026, the domains ct.ws and wuaze.com went dark entirely. InfinityFree’s registrar, Namecheap, had received a notice tied to an Indian court order about illegal sports-streaming sites. A registrar’s only remedy is to suspend the whole domain. Every legitimate site on those subdomains disappeared along with the pirates. The owner hired lawyers and negotiated with the rights holders. The thread was marked resolved on 25 giugno, six weeks later.

This wasn’t a one-off. wuaze.com was registry-suspended for abuse in May 2024 and went down again in April 2025. Forum members report a nastier trick too. Post your address publicly and someone can hammer it until your 50,000 daily hits are spent, forcing a suspension. One long-standing member described sites “throttled and maxed out by trolls” after sharing URLs.

The owner has been candid about why. Writing in June 2026, he said automated content scanning exists but can’t reliably police half a million sites that change constantly. That’s honest. It’s also not a solution. A free subdomain is a shared address in a rough neighbourhood.

Supporta la qualità

There’s no ticket system, no live chat and no phone line for free accounts. Support is the community forum, staffed by volunteers and the owner. That’s disclosed upfront, but it still catches people out. One American reviewer in March 2026 complained about repeated signup failures and being told to ask a community.

Contro quello, one number is worth knowing. InfinityFree has replied to 100% di suo 29 recensioni negative, media 2.24 giorni. Most hosts we analyse leave a third of complaints unanswered, and some take a month. Someone here is reading.

When to Use InfinityFree

InfinityFree is the right call in a narrow but real set of situations:

Ideale per

Students learning server-side development: the strongest case by far. You get PHP 8.3, MySQL, FTP and .htaccess on a live public URL, which beats a local install as a classroom. Break it, get suspended, aspettare 24 ore, learn what you did.

Portfolios and hobby sites: a personal page, a club site or a small blog will sit inside the limits for years. Several reviewers report doing exactly that since 2019 without paying.

Staging and throwaway demos: testing a theme, showing a client a mockup, parking a proof of concept. If it dies, nothing of value is lost. That’s the right attitude to bring here.

Lo apprezzerai se

• You need PHP and MySQL specifically, because static-only platforms can’t run your code
• You refuse to hand over card details for something billed as free, since this one never asks
• You want visitors to see your site and nothing else, because the no-ads promise is real
• You’re curious about hosting WordPress gratuito and want to try before paying

When NOT to Use InfinityFree

Nessun host è adatto a tutti, and this one has sharper edges than most. Skip it if:

Cerca altrove se

You’re running a business or a shop: the terms disclaim all liability. They also state plainly that your account may not be backed up. A daily-limit suspension during a sale isn’t hypothetical. Neither is deletion for inactivity.

Your site sends email: moduli di contatto, order confirmations and password resets all need mail. PHP’s mail() is disabled, outbound mail is blocked, and there are no mailboxes on your domain.

You need scheduled tasks: cron jobs have been off since August 2023. Anything running on a timer, including WordPress maintenance, must be triggered externally.

You expect real traffic: an image-heavy page can burn the 50,000-hit allowance in a few thousand visits. The penalty is a full day offline.

Bandiere rosse per la tua situazione

• You need someone to call: niente telefono, no chat, no ticket queue. A public forum is the whole support offering.
• You can’t tolerate an unexplained outage: ask the ct.ws and wuaze.com users about their six weeks in 2026.
• Your files are large: nothing above 10 MB, sempre. video, high-resolution photography and downloads are out.
• You want SSH or Git: neither exists here, so deployment means FTP or the file manager.
• Reputation matters: free subdomains are shared with whoever else signed up, and some host things that get domains court-ordered offline.

InfinityFree Plans and Pricing

⚠️ Avviso sui prezzi: there’s no renewal shock here, because there’s nothing to renew. La cattura è diversa. The advertised upgrade prices on InfinityFree’s own site don’t match what iFastNet’s checkout charges, and the cheapest plan isn’t listed on InfinityFree at all. Read both pages before you buy.

Hosting gratuito

Prezzo: USD 0.00/mo. Nessuna carta, no trial period, no expiry date. Cosa ottieni, verified from InfinityFree’s own comparison table and documentation:

• 5 GB di spazio su disco, larghezza di banda illimitata
• PHP 8.3, MySQL 8.0 / MariaDB 11.4, 400 banche dati
• Domini ospitati illimitati, 1 FTP account
• SSL gratuito, DNS gratuiti, full .htaccess support
• 50,000 successi giornalieri, then a 24-hour automatic suspension
• Zero email accounts, and PHP’s mail() function is disabled
• No cron jobs (scheduled tasks that run on a timer) da 9 agosto 2023
• No SSH (Shell sicura, command-line access to the server)
• 10 MB maximum size for any single file

That fifth line deserves emphasis. UN “colpo” isn’t a visitor. It’s any file request, including every image, stylesheet and script on the page. A page with 25 assets burns 25 colpisce. Real capacity is closer to 2,000 page views a day than 50,000.

Quella 50,000 figure is the official one, from InfinityFree’s own documentation. Most review sites print 30,000. They’re copying each other, not the source.

Premium Upgrade (Sold by iFastNet)

Here’s something most reviews miss. InfinityFree doesn’t sell paid hosting at all. Its own forum says premium is “provided by iFastNet,” a separate company, and that InfinityFree “is not an official support channel for iFastNet.” iFastNet LTD is a UK company, numero 07951746, based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Here’s where the two websites disagree. All prices are annual and exclude VAT.

• Starter Premium: USD 29.99/year (about USD 2.50/mo). 10 Disco GB, 250 Traffico GB, 1 indirizzo email, 1 Banca dati. Not shown on InfinityFree’s premium page at all.
• Super Premium: InfinityFree advertises USD 4.99/mo. iFastNet charges USD 56.78/year, which works out to USD 4.73/mo.
• Premio finale: InfinityFree advertises USD 7.90/mo. iFastNet charges USD 85.22/year, or USD 7.10/mo.

Prima le buone notizie: the checkout is cheaper than the advertisement, not the other way round. La cattiva notizia? Anyone comparing hosts from InfinityFree’s page works from stale numbers, and never sees the USD 29.99 plan that’s probably right for them.

Premium adds real cPanel, account email, Posta PHP(), cron lavori, remote MySQL, Python and Node.js, plus PHP 5.2 Attraverso 8.5. Migration from InfinityFree is free, which is unusual at this price. Compare it against our guide to hosts offering free migration. There’s a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Costi nascosti da tenere d'occhio

• Registrazione del dominio: non offerto. Bilancio USD 10 to 15/year elsewhere.
• Transactional email: Posta PHP() è bloccato, so contact forms need an external mail service.
• I backup: not provided, not promised. Budget your own time or a plugin.
• I.V.A.: iFastNet’s listed prices exclude it.

Verdetto sui prezzi

Free is free, and InfinityFree is honest that it’s not a demo. The cost is measured in constraints rather than currency. No email, no cron, niente SSH, a hard file-size ceiling and a suspension trigger that fires without warning. If those matter, the USD 29.99/year Starter plan is the cheapest honest fix. It undercuts most entry tiers in our riepilogo degli hosting europei più economici.

InfinityFree Transparency Score

We assess how upfront InfinityFree is with the information that actually affects a buying decision:

• Informazioni aziendali: Limitato. No company name, no registration number, no address anywhere on the site. The footer calls InfinityFree “an independent free hosting initiative” while declaring the site “Offerto da: iFastNet Premium Hosting.” iFastNet publishes its UK company number and street address in full.
• Trasparenza dei prezzi: Buona, with a gap. Free really is free, and the ad-funding model is disclosed in the FAQ. But the premium prices shown don’t match iFastNet’s checkout, and the USD 29.99/year plan is missing entirely.
• Documentazione tecnica: Buona. The knowledge base is detailed and explains what each limit means. It holds one thing back. The article on inodes (a count of files and folders, indipendentemente dalle dimensioni) says to worry at 80% and act at 90%, but never states the number.
• condizioni & Politiche: Limitato. The homepage advertises “99.9% Uptime.” The terms commit only to “commercially reasonable efforts,” call the service “AS-IS” e “WITH ALL FAULTS,” and cap liability at USD 10,000. Non esiste uno SLA (Contratto di servizio, a contractual uptime promise with compensation attached). The terms also state the company “does not warrant that it backs-up any Account.”

Trasparenza generale: Misto, and better than the category average. The documentation and the forum are more open than most paid hosts manage, and the owner answers hard questions in public. Three weak spots remain. Corporate identity, the gap between marketed and contractual uptime, and premium pricing that no longer matches the company charging it.

Alternatives to InfinityFree

If InfinityFree doesn’t fit, these three cover its main gaps:

For No Traffic Limits: Pagine di Cloudflare

Building something static? This removes the daily hit ceiling and the suspension risk with it. The free tier allows 20,000 files per site, 25 MiB per asset, 500 builds a month and 100 domini personalizzati. The trade-off is absolute: niente PHP, no MySQL, no server-side code.

For Email on Your Domain: AwardSpace

AwardSpace’s free plan is smaller at 1 GB di memoria SSD, 5 GB of monthly traffic and one MySQL database. It does include mailboxes on your own domain, which InfinityFree doesn’t offer at any level. It’s ad-free with no time limit.

For Growing Out of Free: iFastNet Starter Premium

At USD 29.99/year this is the cheapest route to real cPanel, e-mail, cron jobs and no daily hit cap, con migrazione gratuita. Check it against paid entry tiers in our confronto dell'hosting condiviso primo, perché 7 days is a short window to judge a host.

Conclusione

Copia questo risultato

Conclusione

InfinityFree earns 3.9 fuori da 5 attraverso 1,190 recensioni, and it’s the best free PHP and MySQL hosting currently available. That’s partly because the competition closed down.

La linea di fondo

This is a working, senza pubblicità, permanently free host with genuinely good documentation and an owner who answers his own forum. It’s also a service where 19% of reviewers gave one star. Suspension is the standard response to any limit. And two free subdomains vanished for six weeks in 2026 because of somebody else’s piracy.

Use it to learn, to experiment, and to host things that don’t matter. Don’t use it for anything that earns money, sends email, runs on a schedule or expects real traffic. The moment your project stops being disposable, bilancio USD 30 a year and move.

Domande frequenti

Is InfinityFree good for beginners?

sì, con un avvertimento. L'installazione richiede pochi minuti, needs no card, and Softaculous installs WordPress in a few clicks. But support is a community forum, not a help desk. Get stuck at 2am and you wait for a volunteer. Beginners who want someone to fix things should pay for hosting.

Is InfinityFree really free, o c'è un problema?

It’s really free, and there’s really a catch. You’ll never be billed, and no ads appear on your site. The costs are paid by advertising in the control panel and by hard limits. Those are 50,000 successi giornalieri, nessuna e-mail, no cron jobs, no SSH and a 10 MB file ceiling. Cross one and your site goes offline for 24 ore.

Di cosa si lamentano di più i clienti??

Three things dominate the 230 recensioni a una stella. Suspensions that arrive without warning and lock you out of the control panel. The volume of advertising inside that panel. And accounts deactivated then deleted for inactivity, sometimes taking months of work with them.

How does InfinityFree compare to 000webhost?

There’s no comparison left to make. 000webhost stopped taking new users in July 2024 and shut down on 1 ottobre 2024. Hostinger, its parent, had already dropped its own free plan. That closure is a big part of why InfinityFree now hosts over half a million sites.

Is InfinityFree good for WordPress?

For learning WordPress, sì. For running it, non proprio. Softaculous installs it in one click and it works. But a default install with a few plugins eats much of your file allowance. Cron jobs are disabled, so scheduled tasks don’t run. And no email means password resets fail. Vedi il nostro free WordPress hosting guide.

Does InfinityFree back up my website?

No, and it says so in writing. The terms state the company “does not warrant that it backs-up any Account,” and ask you to accept the risk of losing your content. Several reviewers have lost files. Keep your own copies.
