Mshini introduces a Free Dev Plan

August 29, 2018

We’re pleased to announce the release of our new Free Dev Plan. WordPress site builders and developers are able to add and create up to 3 WordPress websites simultaneously without paying monthly hosting fees.

With Mshini’s new Free Dev Plan, dev sites:

  • are provisioned and accessible within seconds of adding a new site
  • utilise the same Mshini software stack and configuration that our customers love
  • are created using an auto generated development URL on the wpdevsite.co domain
  • may be instantly removed and a new dev site created via the Mshini customer control panel
  • are provisioned with HTTP/2, SSL and free Let’s Encrypt certificates enabled by default
  • are automatically backed up daily and on-demand via the Mshini customer control panel
  • are SSH, GIT and WP-CLI enabled and customers may manage their SSH keys via the Mshini customer control panel
  • may be migrated for free to a Single Site Hosting account with Mshini

For more information or to sign up for your Free Dev Plan, please visit our Plans page.
