WriteFreely is a beautifully pared-down blogging platform that's simple on the surface, yet powerful underneath.
|
|
|
|
It's designed to be flexible and share your writing widely, so it's built around plain text and can publish to the _fediverse_ via ActivityPub. It's easy to install and light enough to run on a Raspberry Pi.

## Hosting
|
|
|
|
We offer two kinds of hosting services that make WriteFreely deployment painless: [Write.as Pro](https://write.as/pro) for individuals, and [Write.as for Teams](https://write.as/for/teams) for businesses. Besides saving you time and effort, both services directly fund WriteFreely development and ensure the long-term sustainability of our open source work.
|
|
|
|
### [](https://write.as/pro)
|
|
|
|
Start a personal blog on [Write.as](https://write.as), our flagship instance. Built to eliminate setup friction and preserve your privacy, Write.as helps you start a blog in seconds. It supports custom domains (with SSL) and multiple blogs / pen names per account. [Read more here](https://write.as/pro).
|
|
|
|
### [](https://write.as/for/teams)
|
|
|
|
[Write.as for Teams](https://write.as/for/teams) gives your organization, business, or [open source project](https://write.as/for/open-source) a clutter-free space to share updates or proposals and build your collective knowledge. We take care of hosting, upgrades, backups, and maintenance so your team can focus on writing.
