One Box is mybox’s free hosting plan and the foundation of the mybox modular hosting model. It gives you a working hosting environment with no time limit, no ads, and no forced upgrades. You can host a website, set up email, and install WordPress \u2014 all included by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modular approach means your plan is a starting point, not a fixed limit. If you need more resources or features, you can extend One Box with optional add-ons from the mybox Store. You only pay for what you actually need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can do with One Box<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Box is designed to cover the most common hosting needs out of the box. You can run a WordPress site, a personal blog, a portfolio, or a small business website without paying anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more demanding projects \u2014 higher traffic, more websites, automated tasks \u2014 you can add specific capabilities through add-ons rather than switching to a different plan entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available add-ons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons extend One Box without requiring an upgrade. You activate only what you need, and each add-on is billed independently. See the full list and description: mybox add-ons \u2014 what’s available and how they work<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to consider upgrading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Box is a permanent free plan \u2014 it does not expire and does not require a credit card. If your project grows significantly in traffic or complexity, you may want to consider Flex Box<\/strong>, which offers higher base resources and automatic scaling. See: Flex Box \u2014 flexible hosting with automatic scaling<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
