Build a free WordPress portfolio for projects, writing, work samples, services, and contact information.
For creators and professionals who need a flexible portfolio before buying a domain.
What you can do first
- Organize projects, case studies, pages, and posts.
- Use WordPress instead of a closed portfolio-only system.
- Add a custom domain when you want a cleaner address for sharing.
Free hosting first, optional domain later
MyGratis keeps the first step simple: create a free WordPress site, use a free MyGratis address while the idea is still forming, and only pay for a domain if a custom name helps the site. There is no paid hosting upsell in this flow.
The site remains WordPress, so you can keep using familiar pages, posts, themes, plugins, and export tools instead of rebuilding from scratch on a closed system.

Start with the site, not a bill
Create the free WordPress site first. Add a paid domain only when the project has a reason to use one.
Why free changes the decision
Most website decisions get harder when the first step asks for a paid plan. MyGratis removes that pressure. You can publish the basic version, see whether the idea earns attention, and then decide whether a domain name is worth the annual cost.
This helps side projects, community pages, portfolios, service businesses, churches, non-profits, and early store ideas get online before the budget conversation starts. The free address works while you are still learning what the site needs to become.
What is included on a free MyGratis site
- A hosted WordPress site on a free MyGratis subdomain.
- Starter templates for common site types.
- Access to WordPress pages, posts, media, themes, and curated tools.
- SSL for supported MyGratis and mapped domains.
- The option to register, transfer, or connect a paid custom domain later.
Questions people ask before starting
Is the hosting really free?
Yes. The starter hosting path is free. Domains are paid because registries charge recurring fees for domain names, but buying a domain is optional.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No credit card is required for the free site path. Payment is only needed if you choose a paid domain-related action.
Can I move later?
The site runs on WordPress, so standard WordPress export and migration paths remain available when your needs change.
