What Is ATSPACE.com and What Does It Offer?

Updated

ATSPACE.com is a web hosting provider that has offered free web hosting since 2003, and it also sells paid hosting plans. It is a fit if you want to put a first website online at no cost, with a hosted domain, email, and a MySQL database included. Choose a paid plan instead if you need more disk space, traffic, or additional software packages beyond the free one-click installer.

What the free hosting plan includes

The free plan is the core of the offer. According to the site, it provides:

  • 1GB disk space — described as enough for a first website.
  • 5GB monthly traffic — resets at the start of each month, or when you upgrade to a paid plan.
  • 1 domain — one hosted domain plus up to three subdomains.
  • 1 email account — with 50MB of storage for messages.
  • 1 database — 30MB of storage, MySQL version 5.7.
  • No ads — the site states it will not place advertising on your website.

ATSPACE also says it has hosted more than 2,000,000 websites, which is the basis for its reliability claim.

Building a site: installer and website builder

Two tools are available for getting a site online without manual setup:

  • Zacky App Installer — the site says you can install WordPress or Joomla within about 5 minutes. Additional software packages are available on paid hosting plans, not the free one.
  • Zacky Website Builder — for people who prefer not to use a CMS. It includes templates and supports drag-and-drop editing.

If your goal is a blog or a small business site, the WordPress route through the installer is the more common starting point. If you want to assemble pages visually without managing a CMS, the website builder fits that case.

Paid upgrades and when they make sense

The site lists three paid tiers, with starting prices as shown:

Plan Stated best for Starting price
Shared Startup business or medium sites with around 1,000 monthly visitors from $0.08/mo
Semi-Dedicated Business sites with more than 1,000 monthly visitors; medium blogs or news sites from $12.99/mo
Virtual Private Server Full server control and custom optimization from $120.00/year

The free plan's 5GB monthly traffic is the practical ceiling to watch. Once a site regularly approaches that, or you need more than one database or extra software packages, the paid tiers are the intended next step. Free domains are tied to premium plans, so a free domain is not part of the free hosting offer itself.

Practical notes before signing up

  • Email sending is enabled on the free hosting, per the site's description.
  • The free plan is limited to one domain and one database, so it suits a single project rather than multiple sites.
  • Support is cited positively in customer comments, including one user who reported a problem resolved within about two hours on the free plan. Treat individual testimonials as anecdotal rather than a guaranteed response time.
  • Check current pricing and plan limits on the site before committing, since the figures above reflect what the page states at the time of writing.
