Get your own website with a clean, memorable .nz subdomain. No fees, no ads, no credit card required β just free hosting for Kiwis.
New Zealand is a small country with high infrastructure costs. Running data centres here is expensive, and that cost has traditionally been passed on to everyday Kiwis. We believe that in the AI era, this doesn't have to be the case anymore.
We use peer-to-peer distributed technology, leveraging a network of decentralised nodes to power our service. This eliminates the need for expensive centralised data centres and keeps our operating costs near zero.
Our entire platform β from site creation to deployment β is fully automated by AI. There is no human labour involved in operating the service. This means no staffing costs, no manual overhead, just minimal token consumption to run the AI workflows.
By combining P2P infrastructure with AI automation, we've reduced costs to the point where we can offer hosting for free β not as a marketing gimmick, but as a genuine contribution to New Zealand's digital future. Every Kiwi deserves a web presence.
"We built this to benefit all New Zealanders in the age of AI β because hosting your digital presence should never be held back by cost."
Simple, reliable hosting with no strings attached. Built for people who want a web presence without the complexity.
Choose a name, and we'll set up yourname.w1.nz for you. Clean, professional, and easy to remember.

To keep this service free and fast for everyone, we ask that you follow a few guidelines.
Each account gets a generous 10 GB of storage β that's enough for thousands of web pages, images, and documents. For context, a typical static website uses less than 50 MB.
We believe that in the age of AI, everyone should be able to quickly build and launch their own digital products β without barriers, without cost.
W1.nz is built on open web standards and independent NZ-owned infrastructure. Your site runs on locally hosted servers with globally distributed delivery via Cloudflare CDN β fast, reliable, and independent from big tech platforms.
Through our deep partnership with BestAI, we use a complete AI-powered website building workflow. Go from requirements to a production-grade, deployed website faster than ever before β powered by BestAI's proven build-and-deploy pipeline.
Our goal is to provide free, locally hosted data services to everyone in New Zealand. We believe every person and every business deserves their own digital space. We keep it free so that cost is never a barrier to building your web presence.
