Own the website your business depends on.
Freehold CMS is self-hosted software for people who want the website, its content and its operating choices under their control. Run it on compatible hosting you choose, keep the site data in your own installation and move that installation when your needs change.
Free Core costs $0. Commercial modules and bundles use one-time software pricing instead of turning the CMS itself into another monthly subscription.
Control the foundation
You choose the domain, compatible host, theme, enabled modules, content and business rules. Freehold CMS does not require a proprietary hosting account just to keep using the software.
Add capability when it earns its place
Start with Free Core. Add a focused module or a dependency-complete bundle when the site actually needs that capability. Required dependencies and software prices are meant to be visible before purchase.
What that means in practice
- Choose compatible hosting and keep control of the installation.
- See required dependencies and software prices before you buy.
- Start with Free Core, then add only the features the site actually needs.
- Review each paid product’s published installation, support and update terms before purchase.
- Covered product defects and custom development are handled under the applicable published terms.
Start with what the site needs to do.
Compare Free Core, modules and bundles by the job they perform. Check the requirements, confirm the dependencies and choose the smallest package that covers the work.
