You will certainly have found yourself in the situation of having to change supplier for a service or product that you already use. In our reference market, when a user decides to change Hosting Provider there can be many reasons: more competitive price, assistance, various inefficiencies, particular needs for the web project, etc...

When you find yourself in the situation of having to choose a new Hosting Provider, in addition to carrying out searches on the web or having companies suggested to you by users who have already tried them, it would be decidedly convenient and useful to be able to try (without obligation) the service and the infrastructure, test the quality of the assistance and evaluate all the technical aspects you are looking for.

To respond to this specific need at HOST we have always decided to give this possibility to our new potential customers and, recently, we have made some changes to the HOST DEV service, which can fall into the type of product more commonly known as TRY&BUY.

HOST DEV – Try Our Hosting for Free Let's see together how you can try our services for FREE, test the quality of the infrastructure and put our Customer Service to the test.

The trial service is called HOST DEV and is in effect a free trial space that is completely compatible with one of the paid Shared Hosting profiles we offer.

How do you activate a HOST DEV? Activating HOST DEV is very simple:

Go to our website host.it

Click on the CUSTOMER AREA button found at the top right

Click on the REGISTER button always at the top right and proceed with the registration and creation of an account on our site (choosing whether to create a PRIVATE or COMPANY account)

Once you have created your account you will have access to your CUSTOMER AREA. Click on ADD PRODUCT – HOST DEV

Choose the name of your test domain which will be "yourdomain.sviluppo.host" and proceed with the purchase

Once you have created your HOST DEV you can manage it directly from your panel and start testing the service

How long does the HOST DEV free trial last? HOST DEV is a service that we have always offered, the novelty lies precisely in its duration. We have recently extended the deadline for each of the HOST DEVs that are activated from 90 to 180 days. So you have 6 months to test every aspect of the service for free and create an entire web project to then put into production once you have chosen the profile to purchase.

How does the transition from HOST DEV to a HOSTING profile work? Once you have tested the service you can use your HOST DEV to actually develop your website before purchasing the final hosting profile. The convenience lies precisely in the fact that you can move from the test environment to hosting in a few simple steps:

Place an order with the hosting profile best suited to the needs of your web project (if you need commercial support you can also contact our Customer Service who will be at your disposal to suggest which profile to choose);

Open a support ticket with Customer Service requesting the migration from your HOST DEV to the purchased Hosting profile

Technical Support will migrate your site which will be immediately available online.

How many HOST DEV profiles can I create? From your customer area you have the possibility to activate unlimited HOST DEV profiles to test, develop and experiment with your web projects!

We have reached the end of this episode dedicated to how you can try the services offered by HOST for free thanks to the activation of HOST DEV profiles.

In the next episode we will explain how to use HOST DEV as a real development laboratory, which can be very useful if you are creating websites for your clients and need to submit the project for their approval before putting it online.

As always, I remind you to subscribe to our YouTube channel and activate the bell to be notified when we publish new content.

Furthermore, now that you know, I also invite you to register on our site (if you haven't already done so) and try to activate your HOST DEV for free for 6 months!
