Free Hosting for Open-Source Projects

We offer free hosting services to active open-source projects released under an OSI-approved license
(More details).

The Csoft.net hosting company has been providing a secure, reliable and affordable hosting service since 1995. Our servers are located in state-of-the-art data centers with Tier 1 connectivity (notably to AS701).

With most of our competitors offering inflexible hosting packages with traffic limits, lack of redundancy and oversold storage space, we focus instead on high performance, proactive security and enterprise-grade reliability. We also differ from traditional hosting services by providing every customer with a complete array of redundant servers and a true 100% uptime guarantee.

Our technical support service is available 7 days a week, year-round. Competent system administrators and programmers are there to fix the bugs, answer your questions and implement your suggestions. Csoft.net has initiated and is sponsoring a number of free open-source software projects, which were developed much in the same way that our hosting service was built: through continual improvement over the years, based on technical merit and driven by user feedback.

Included in all packages

Hosting on multiple redundant servers running OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD or Linux
A 100% uptime guarantee
A powerful management interface; choose between our web-based control panel, (integrable into your website), or a scriptable command-line interface for more advanced users

A powerful and highly reliable spam filtering system. We use the latest version of SpamAssassin and provide users with their own dedicated spam filtering processes (with many advantages, such as autowhitelisting, a secure Bayes database and support for user-defined tests)
