If you want a real Gopher site on a Gopher server for free:
Sign up for SDF — that’s your best bet for a no-cost Gopher-friendly host.
Once on SDF:
~/public_gopher/ directory if available).Use software like Gophernicus or Motsognir (both open-source) to run your gopher server.
If you like, I can check currently active free Gopher hosts (2025) and find ones that let you host Gopher content — do you want me to do that?
