Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my free website?
Start with an eligible hosting offer on HostCouponCodes and purchase a qualifying hosting plan through the approved referral link.
After checkout, sign in to your HostCouponCodes Member Dashboard and submit the required purchase information for verification.
Once your purchase is successfully verified, we will confirm your eligible development tier and collect your website requirements.
The hosting itself is paid. The development fee for work included within your qualifying offer is $0.
What do I need to purchase to qualify?
You must purchase a hosting plan currently identified by HostCouponCodes as eligible for the Free Website Development Offer.
The purchase must be made through an approved HostCouponCodes referral link and meet the applicable minimum billing-term requirements.
Hosting plans, names, features, and eligibility may change, so check the current eligibility requirements before completing your purchase.
What is the minimum hosting term?
The standard required eligible hosting term is currently 48 months (4 years).
Monthly or shorter-term hosting subscriptions do not qualify unless explicitly included in a current HostCouponCodes offer.
How many pages do I get with a 4-year hosting plan?
A qualifying 48-month hosting purchase currently provides development of a professional business website with up to 10 pages.
The page allowance can be structured around your business requirements, such as dedicated services, projects, FAQs, company information, blog, and contact pages.
All functionality remains subject to the approved development scope.
Is the hosting plan free?
No.
You purchase and pay for your hosting directly through the hosting provider.
HostCouponCodes does not collect your hosting payment.
The eligible website development fee is $0 for work included within your approved Free Website Development Offer.
Why is the website development fee $0?
HostCouponCodes may receive a referral commission when an eligible customer purchases hosting through an approved referral link.
We use referral revenue to help fund the design and development work included in the Free Website Development Offer.
This allows qualifying customers to receive the included website development without paying us a separate development fee.
Are there any hidden development charges?
There is no separate development charge for work included within your approved Free Website Development Offer.
You remain responsible for costs such as:
- Hosting
- Domain costs where applicable
- Premium plugins or themes you choose to use
- Paid third-party services
- Paid APIs
- Premium assets
- Functionality outside the included development scope
If a requested feature requires an additional cost, it should be explained before you agree to it.
You are not required to purchase additional development services from HostCouponCodes.
Will my website be responsive?
Yes.
Responsive design is included within the standard development scope.
We structure and check the website for common desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes before final delivery.
Will my website work on mobile devices?
Yes.
Mobile responsiveness is part of the standard website development process.
Layouts, navigation, text, images, forms, and important interface elements are checked on common mobile viewport sizes.
Specific behavior can also depend on third-party plugins, embeds, and services outside our control.
How long will website development take?
There is no single guaranteed turnaround time for every project.
The development schedule depends on:
- Page count
- Project complexity
- Content availability
- Required functionality
- Client response time
- Revisions
- Hosting environment
- Applicable hosting refund period
Your expected schedule will be communicated after your eligibility, requirements, and development scope have been reviewed.
When will my 1-page website be developed?
Eligible 1-page projects may be developed and delivered during the hosting provider's applicable initial refund period.
Development can proceed after your purchase has been verified and we have received the information and content required for the project.
When will my 5-page or 10-page website be developed?
For larger projects, we may begin onboarding, requirements gathering, page planning, content organization, design direction, and other preliminary work during the hosting provider's applicable initial refund period.
However, final development and/or final delivery of 5-page and 10-page projects may be scheduled after the applicable initial hosting refund period has passed.
Your expected project schedule will be communicated after your requirements are reviewed.
Why might larger websites be delivered after the refund period?
A 5-page or 10-page website requires substantially more design and development work than a one-page project.
Because the Free Website Development Offer is supported by qualifying referral revenue, we may schedule substantial final development or delivery after the applicable initial refund period.
This helps keep the program sustainable while preserving your ability to use the hosting provider's normal cancellation and refund process.
How do I submit proof of purchase?
Sign in to your HostCouponCodes Member Dashboard and complete the development claim form.
Submit the requested purchase information, which may include your hosting plan, purchase date, billing duration, order or transaction reference, and an appropriate purchase confirmation screenshot.
Your claim must be successfully verified before development is approved.
What needs to be visible in my purchase screenshot?
Your screenshot should contain enough information to verify the qualifying purchase, such as:
- Hosting provider
- Hosting plan
- Purchase date
- Billing duration
- Order or transaction reference
Only provide information reasonably required for verification.
What information should I hide from my screenshot?
Do not submit:
- Full debit or credit card numbers
- CVV/security codes
- Banking passwords
- Hosting passwords
- Email passwords
- OTPs
- Other unnecessary financial or login credentials
You may redact sensitive information that is not required to verify your purchase.
Does submitting a screenshot guarantee approval?
No.
The screenshot helps us review your claim, but your purchase must also satisfy the current offer requirements and pass verification.
Eligibility may depend on the hosting plan, billing duration, purchase status, referral eligibility, and other applicable offer requirements.
How long does purchase verification take?
We aim to review development claims as promptly as reasonably possible.
Verification time can vary depending on the information submitted, referral attribution, hosting provider records, claim volume, or whether additional information is required.
Development does not begin until eligibility has been confirmed.
Is a domain name included?
HostCouponCodes does not provide or register a domain as part of the Free Website Development Offer.
Some hosting providers may include domain-related benefits with certain plans or billing terms.
Check the hosting provider's current plan details before purchasing, as domain offers and renewal costs can change.
Do I have to give HostCouponCodes my hosting password?
Not necessarily.
Where supported by the hosting provider, we prefer account sharing, delegated access, or another appropriate developer-access method rather than asking you to share your primary password.
We will explain what level of access is required for your approved project.
Never send passwords through the purchase-verification screenshot.
Who provides the website text and images?
You are responsible for providing the substantive business content required for your website, including your text, logo, images, contact information, and other relevant materials.
HostCouponCodes structures and places the content within the approved website design.
Professional copywriting, custom photography, logo design, and ongoing content creation are not included in the standard Free Website Development Offer.
What happens if my content is not ready?
Missing content may delay development or final delivery.
Temporary placeholder content may sometimes be used during development where appropriate, but you remain responsible for providing the final business content required to complete the website.
Is SEO included?
Basic SEO setup may be included where applicable.
This can include elements such as page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, clean URLs, sitemap configuration, and basic SEO plugin setup.
The Free Website Development Offer does not include an ongoing SEO campaign, backlink building, guaranteed indexing, guaranteed traffic, or guaranteed search-engine rankings.
Will you optimize my website speed?
Basic performance configuration may be included where appropriate, such as caching setup and reasonable website configuration.
However, website performance also depends on hosting resources, images, plugins, scripts, third-party services, and other factors.
We do not guarantee a specific PageSpeed, Core Web Vitals, or loading-time score as part of the standard offer.
Can I request revisions?
Reasonable revisions within the originally approved development scope may be accommodated during the development phase.
Minor changes can include text corrections, provided-image replacements, small styling adjustments, or similar refinements.
Additional pages, major redesigns, new functionality, complex integrations, or substantial changes to the approved structure are not considered standard revisions.
Unlimited revisions are not included.
Can I request updates after launch?
Ongoing website updates and maintenance are not automatically included after final handoff.
After delivery, you are generally responsible for future content changes, hosting and domain renewals, backups, updates, ongoing security, new pages, and ongoing SEO unless additional support has explicitly been included.
Is an e-commerce website included?
Basic e-commerce configuration may be considered only when it fits within the approved project scope.
The standard Free Website Development Offer does not automatically include large product catalogs, marketplace functionality, complex checkout customization, custom payment systems, subscription platforms, advanced inventory systems, or custom e-commerce backend development.
If e-commerce is essential to your project, discuss the requirements before development begins.
Can I get a custom web application for free?
No.
The standard Free Website Development Offer is intended primarily for professional websites.
Custom SaaS applications, complex databases, advanced portals, CRM or ERP systems, custom backend platforms, and similar software projects fall outside the standard free development scope.
Are premium themes and plugins included?
No, premium third-party licenses are not automatically included.
We aim to use suitable free, open-source, or otherwise properly licensed tools where practical.
If your approved project requires a paid theme, plugin, API, font, stock asset, or other premium service, the associated cost is your responsibility unless explicitly stated otherwise.
What happens if I cancel my hosting before the website is completed?
Hosting cancellations and refunds are handled directly by the hosting provider according to its current terms.
If your qualifying hosting purchase is cancelled or refunded before development is completed, your eligibility for the remaining free development work may end.
HostCouponCodes does not process hosting refunds.
What happens if I cancel after my website has already been delivered?
If an eligible website has already been completed and formally delivered, HostCouponCodes will not automatically delete, deactivate, or remove the delivered website solely because you exercised an eligible hosting refund.
We also will not create a surprise development invoice solely because you exercised a valid hosting refund right.
Cancellation may end any unfinished development, revisions, maintenance, or other benefits that depended on the qualifying hosting purchase.
If the hosting provider closes your hosting account, you are responsible for preserving or migrating the website before access ends.
Who owns the website after delivery?
After your eligible project has been completed and formally delivered, you receive access to the website and the project files included within the approved development scope.
HostCouponCodes does not charge a recurring structural license fee simply to keep the delivered website active.
Third-party themes, plugins, libraries, fonts, images, and other licensed assets remain subject to their respective licenses.
Does HostCouponCodes own my hosting account?
No.
Your hosting subscription is purchased directly from the hosting provider and should remain under your control.
HostCouponCodes provides development services under the qualifying offer but does not become your hosting provider.
Can I move my website to another hosting provider later?
After delivery, migration may be possible depending on the website, technologies used, third-party licenses, and destination hosting environment.
Migration assistance after handoff is not automatically included within the original Free Website Development Offer unless explicitly stated.
If you are cancelling your current hosting, preserve an appropriate backup before the provider closes your account.
What happens if my requirements are outside the free development scope?
We will explain which requested functionality falls outside the included offer before adding it to the project.
You are not required to purchase additional development services from HostCouponCodes.
The approved free development work remains limited to the scope of your qualifying 4-year offer.
Still Have Questions?
Before purchasing hosting, review the current eligibility requirements, development scope, plan details, and cancellation policy so you understand exactly what your qualifying offer includes.
