WordPress.com Education gives students free domains, plugins, and developer tools for one year
↗
WordPress.com Education provides teachers and students free access to a full-featured WordPress plan including domains, plugin support, and developer tools for one year.
This gives educators a zero-cost way to integrate professional website-building into coursework, with access to developer tools like SFTP/SSH and staging that go beyond basic site builders. After the free year, students keep their content on a free tier or can pay $2/month, removing adoption friction for underfunded schools.

WordPress.com Education offers students a full-featured plan with 6 GB storage, plugins, SFTP/SSH, phpMyAdmin, and staging sites at no cost for the first year.
After the first year, students can subscribe at $2 per month or their site reverts to a free WordPress.com site with all content preserved.
The program was piloted with 5,000 students across 27 countries before this public launch.
