Frequently asked about alwaysdata
How much does alwaysdata cost after the free trial?
alwaysdata's free 100MB plan has no expiration, but upgrading to paid plans starts at $8/month. There is no money-back guarantee, so paid plans are final once activated. The free tier covers basic testing and development.
Does alwaysdata support multiple programming languages?
Yes. alwaysdata supports 15+ languages including PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, and Haskell on the same hosting account. This makes it unusual among budget hosts, which typically lock you into PHP or Node.js alone.
Is alwaysdata GDPR-compliant?
Yes. alwaysdata is a French hosting provider with all datacenters located in France. The infrastructure is GDPR-compliant by default, making it a natural choice for EU-based projects with data residency requirements.
Can I run WordPress on alwaysdata?
Yes. alwaysdata includes a WordPress 1-click installer for easy deployment. However, the free plan's 100MB storage limit is tight for WordPress; upgrading to a paid plan ($8/month) is recommended for production sites.
Does alwaysdata offer phone or live chat support?
No. alwaysdata does not offer phone support or live chat. Support is available through email and a documentation wiki. This is typical for budget hosts but means response times may be slower than premium providers.
