WordPress.org has introduced the revolutionary my.WordPress.net service, which allows a full content management system to run inside a web browser, with no need for hosting or registration.

Privacy and local data

Sites created with the new service are private by default, and their data is saved exclusively in the user's browser cache.

No barriers to entry

Users do not need to purchase hosting, a domain, or even create an account to start creating content.

Integrated AI tools

The platform offers access to an app directory, including a personal CRM and an AI-powered workspace.

Easy migration

Private projects can be migrated to public WordPress hosting at any time to share them with the world.

WordPress (WordPress.org) launched the new my.WordPress.net service on March 11, 2026, which allows CMS software to run entirely inside a web browser. This solution enables users to instantly create a site without the need to register an account, purchase a hosting plan, or register a domain. Sites created this way are private by default and are not visible on the public internet. The system is based on technology previously used to present demo versions of WordPress. The tool is positioned as a personal workspace for keeping journals, designing, or learning the system.

Data from sites created via my.WordPress.net is saved locally in the user's browser cache. This means access to the created content is possible only from the same device and application where the site was initialized. The service offers access to a so-called app directory, which contains ready-made tools extending the functionality of the private space. Among them are, among others, a personal customer relationship management (CRM) system, an RSS feed reader, and a dedicated AI-powered workspace.

Although created sites remain isolated from the outside world, the creators have provided a path for their later publication. Users have the option to migrate their private projects to a dedicated WordPress hosting provider, allowing them to be published on the global web. This solution is intended primarily as a safe environment for experiments and preparing article drafts before their final publication. WordPress was originally created as a tool for publishing blogs but has evolved over time into a versatile system supporting internet forums, media galleries, and learning management systems. According to industry data, this software powers a significant portion of the modern internet, offering both an open-source version (WordPress.org) and commercial hosting services (WordPress.com). The new in-browser service extends this philosophy with tools for offline work and private use.
