Hi DL,
That 'guide' is written with VIP in mind that's all.

So to answer the OP's question, yes Freeola's free hosting will be fine but you will need to add a MySQL package as WordPress needs that.

From the guide:

"If you have subscribed to Freeola's Unlimited VIP Hosting and MySQL database you easily meet the minimum requirements for WordPress."

Opening paragraph ... enough said!

FWIW You can also use WordPress with Freeola's Standard/Free hosting - but as with VIP hosting you will need to add a paid for MySQL package :¬)

Hi bobbyjoe23 and welcome to the forums

If you read the opening paragraph of Freeola's guide to installing Wordpress, you'll read that you need a VIP package. So to answer your question, the answer is no ....
