Freezoy

Note: neither Stanford University nor Continuing Studies supports or endorses Freezoy in any way. We are simply using them because they are free, and they are one of the few website hosting organizations to allow people to install WordPress instances for free.

Freezoy is a free web host that supports PHP and MySQL (needed for WordPress). In addition, Freezoy has an easy-to-use installer to help install WordPress.
