Hosting WriteFreely, answered
- Who keeps WriteFreely updated and secure?
- We do. Zenith handles WriteFreely's updates, security patches, SSL certificates and monitoring, so you stay on a current, patched version without ever touching a server.
- Is my WriteFreely data backed up and private?
- Yes. Your WriteFreely runs on managed, backed-up storage, and your data stays yours — Zenith does not train AI models on your hosted content. You can export it whenever you want.
- Can I move WriteFreely off Zenith later?
- Anytime. WriteFreely is open source and your data is portable, so there's no lock-in: map a custom domain, export your data, or leave whenever you like.
- Is this the full open-source WriteFreely?
- Yes. Zenith runs the genuine open-source WriteFreely on your own instance — not a stripped-down fork. You get the features the project ships, managed for you.
Your WriteFreely, ready in one click.
