Frequently Asked Questions

I guarantee that your websites will be up at least 99.9% of the time. Exceptions include the following: scheduled maintenance, server upgrades, hardware failures, DoS attacks, suspension or termination due to violation of the Rules, downtime caused by your software installations, or any errors from the client side.

Free migrations are currently not available at this time, but here is a handy tutorial on how to manually migrate your cPanel account from one host to another. I can help with restoring the databases if you need it!

Leprd is primarily a PHP and MySQL (MariaDB) host. You can choose from multiple versions of PHP and even use different PHP versions for different websites.

NSFW content is allowed as long as you own the rights to the work or it is a fannish or transformative work. Common examples are 18+ artworks and fan fiction. Sexual depiction of minors (including lolicon, shotacon, etc.), CSAM, and pornographic videos of real people are prohibited.

None. It’s completely free — from beginning to end!

Absolutely not! I don’t like ads on my websites, either. Moreover, paid advertisements aren’t allowed on hostees’ websites.

Linking back is not required. Don’t worry; you can keep your sidebars and footers clean.

As much as I can. 🙆🏻‍♀️ Just keep in mind that this is a free/hobby service, so do not expect to get fast 24/7/365 support as you would on a paid service. My time zone is UTC+8.

Free web hosts usually start off as free and then become paid later on — if not shut down — for understandable reasons (i.e., it’s becoming too expensive, etc.). My goal is to offer free web hosting as long as possible. To keep Leprd sustainable while still offering free services, I only accept a certain number of hostees and host certain types of websites. I am also fairly strict with the rules to make room for new hostees. So far, it has worked for us; we’ve been around since 2016!

If your application is approved, you will receive your account details within seven (7) days. If seven days have passed and you still haven’t received your account details, your application may have been rejected.

Make sure to set your domain’s nameservers to Leprd’s nameservers as indicated in the email. Once DNS propagation is done, you can finally access your domain. The first thing you’ll see is Leprd’s default Coming Soon page for new accounts. Log in to your control panel or FTP, play around, and make some changes! ✨

I judge account activity through bandwidth usage. If an account is inactive for three (3) consecutive months [meaning, it has zero (0) total account bandwidth for three (3) consecutive months], the owner will be notified via email. If no reply is received within the specified period (usually a week), the account will be terminated.

One should be enough. The addon domains feature should cover your multiple domains. You can have up to 6 (1 primary domain + 5 addon domains) on the Winter Wind plan, and up to 11 (1 primary domain + 10 addon domains) on the Revolutionary plan.

If an account exceeds its account limits, it will automatically be suspended. If an account is suspended for exceeding its monthly bandwidth limit, it will automatically be reactivated on the first day of the next month when the bandwidth counter resets.

If you’re on the Torrent or Winter Wind plan, you can request an account upgrade for free. Upgrading follows this sequence: Torrent → Winter Wind → Revolutionary. If you’re already on the Revolutionary plan but need more space or bandwidth, contact me, and we’ll sort something out!

You can request account termination on the Contact page.

(Your primary domain is the domain you signed up with.) Sure! Just send me an email.

AutoSSL automatically runs in the background every 24 hours to issue and renew domain-validated SSL/TLS certificates for all domains and subdomains on your account. You can also trigger this manually by going to cPanel › SSL/TLS Status and clicking Run AutoSSL. For AutoSSL to be successful, the domain or subdomain must be properly pointed to our servers. To force HTTPS connections to your website, you can go to cPanel › Domains and toggle Force HTTPS Redirect.

You can change the PHP version by logging in to your control panel and clicking Select PHP Version. You can also enable PHP extensions and options on the same page.

Check first if the server is down here. Normally, downtimes last only for a few minutes and are caused by reboots. For major downtimes lasting hours, check our status page for any news. If only your domains and subdomains are down, it might be due to a DNS misconfiguration.

Yes, we do!
