Free Web Hosting Zimbabwe Reviews

Free Web Hosting Zimbabwe (FWH) was established, reportedly around August 2018 by brothers Bukhosi and Mbekezeli Mhlanga, with the specific mission to empower Zimbabwean Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by providing them with a free online presence. Recognizing that many local businesses lacked websites or struggled with hosting costs, FWH aimed to remove this barrier, allowing SMEs to compete more effectively. Their core offering is a completely free hosting plan specifically targeted at individuals and small businesses within Zimbabwe. This free tier includes basic resources like 1GB disk space, 5GB bandwidth, 5 email addresses, 1 SQL database, and compatibility with WordPress. They emphasize that this service has no hidden costs or time limits. For users requiring more resources, FWH offers affordable paid upgrades (mentioned as $1.95/month in some older sources) and also facilitates domain registration (.co.zw, .com, etc.) at competitive prices. The service is explicitly restricted to users within Zimbabwe; orders from outside the country are rejected. FWH presents itself as the first service of its kind in Zimbabwe, leveraging infrastructure possibly supported by Niva City, a South African entity mentioned in early reports.
