NearlyFreeSpeech.NET sells shared hosting metered by consumption rather than by plan. An account holds a balance, resources draw against it as they are used, and there are no tiers to choose between or outgrow. Sites run PHP, Python, Ruby and Node alongside static files, with MySQL and MariaDB offered as managed databases, root SSH, and uploads over SFTP or the control panel.

Worth knowing

The metering is the product, and it cuts both ways: a site with no visitors costs almost nothing, and a site under load costs whatever the load costs, with no ceiling supplied by a plan.

Support beyond the documentation is a paid option billed separately rather than a tier of service. The per-resource rates are not published on the marketing pages and need an account to inspect, and no geographic regions are documented.
