I need a website to practice wordpress. I can't afford 37$ a year. Does the staff have another alternate for me?

4,387 PointsThe price for the treehouse hosting plan is cheap but they sell annual plans and paying for one year upfront may represent a high cost for some of us. Most of the popular hosting websites have monthly plans that can cost as low as 4$ (or cheaper). They might be more expensive on a long term but are more affordable for people who can't pay all the 37$ upfront.
Just Google "Web Hosting" and you will some options.
