WordPress.com Offers 1,000 Free Premium Websites to University Students

WordPress.com announced that it is giving away 1,000 free premium websites exclusively to university students. This offer is a fantastic opportunity for students to build their online presence.

The first thousand students who sign up will receive a premium WordPress.com website for one year, complete with a free custom domain name, SSL certificate, 13 GB of storage, access to premium themes, and an ad-free experience. With these features, students can create professional websites to showcase their portfolios, projects, or blogs. 

“This offer is perfect for students looking to stand out in their personal and professional journeys, ” WordPress.com said in the official announcement.

Interested students can fill out a simple form with their educational details and email address. After submitting, they will receive an email asking them to verify their student status. Once verified, a unique code will be provided within 24-48 hours to unlock their free premium website. 

Recently, the WordPress community has been trying to find ways to attract new users in the backdrop of discussions about the WordPress market stagnating. Executive Director of the WordPress Project, Josepha Haden Chomphosy, has also recently spoken about how WordPress equips students with essential skills for thriving in their future careers.

    • This is such a fantastic initiative! Providing students with free premium websites is not only a great way to give them real-world experience, but it also opens the door for them to build their personal brands early on. In a time where having a strong online presence is key, this opportunity could really make a difference in their future careers, whether in tech, design, or any other industry.

      It’s also great to see WordPress continuing to support education and innovation. Students will benefit from exploring the powerful customization options and functionality that come with a premium site, skills that will be highly valuable as they enter the job market.

      I’m curious to know if there are plans to expand this program beyond the initial 1,000 or if similar initiatives are in the works for other educational institutions globally. Either way, this is a step in the right direction!
