Run a WordPress site
Run a WordPress site on Coritan: a domain, a server that runs WordPress, certificates and email on your domain, with the monthly cost worked out from our prices.
A small business site needs a domain, a server that runs WordPress and email on the same domain. The Free plan covers the DNS, the certificate and the mailboxes. You pay for the server and for the domain.

No. The Free plan covers the DNS, the certificate and the mailboxes for your site. WordPress runs on a server you order, and you pay for it by what it uses.
Do I need a domain of my own?
You can claim a free name under coritan.gg and use it for a website. A domain of your own costs its yearly price.
Can I move my existing WordPress site?
Your site’s files and database move by hand, and your email moves with an import. Add the domain to Websites when you are ready to point it at us.
