Though we also offer free hosting in certain circumstances too:

> **[Free Discourse Communities For Creators](https://blog.discourse.org/2022/04/free-discourse-for-creators/)**
>
> We would like to help creators build their communities. If you are a creator building on the web, then you might be eligible for a free, hosted Discourse community.
