About the Bot

What is the OneStopWP Bot?

To maintain our commitment to providing free, high-performance WordPress hosting for charities, we utilise an automated verification tool. This bot performs periodic checks to ensure that participating organisations are displaying the required "Hosted by OneStopWP" attribution.

Technical Details:

  • User-Agent: OneStopWP-Charity-Backlink-Checker-Bot/1.0
  • Purpose: Verification of charity program compliance and backlink integrity.
  • Frequency: Checks are performed once every 24 hours.
  • IP Address: Originates from our secure monitoring infrastructure (X-Purpose: Charity-Backlink-Verification).

Why We Use It

Transparent Compliance

We believe in transparency. Our bot helps us manage hundreds of free accounts efficiently, allowing us to keep our overhead low and our support for nonprofits high.

Sustainability

By ensuring every charity links back to us, you help grow our community, which in turn funds the free resources we provide.

SEO Integrity

The bot verifies that the link is "Dofollow," ensuring that both OneStopWP and our partner charities benefit from a healthy web ecosystem.

Service Monitoring

While checking for the link, our bot also monitors your site's uptime. If your site is down, we'll know about it before you realise something is wrong.

Backlink Requirements

How to Stay Compliant

To ensure your hosting remains free and active, your backlink must meet the following three criteria. You can find these details and apply for the program on our Free Charity Hosting page.

1. Placement:

The link must be placed in your website's global footer so it is visible on every public-facing page.

2. Anchor Text:

The link text must clearly mention "OneStopWP" (e.g., "Hosted on OneStopWP").

3. HTML Configuration:

The link must be a standard HTML link. It must not be "hidden" via CSS or marked with a rel="nofollow" tag.
