A free version of n-gen.net CMS?

If you do not want to host the n-gen.net CMS foundation on our own setup (web server, database server, internet connection, etc.) you will have to find a commercial hosting company.

The price of a suitable hosting provider varies but entry price is around 1 - 5 USD/Euro per month often including a first time registration of a domain.

It is imperative that you find a hosting company that offers a .NET compatible (preferably Microsoft Windows IIS) web server. However, your MySQL version 5.5 or newer (or Maria) database server can run on any OS and even on most hardware ranging from a 15 USD/Euro Raspberry Pi to advanced Linux clusters - as long as it is accessible from the internet.

 

With the n-gen.net CMS foundation you get the software - the server hardware (including power and internet connection) you have to pay for yourself.

The n-gen.net foundation version software is 100% free -- as in »free beer!«
