What you pay, and when#
| When | You pay | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Your first year | $30 (less during a sale) | $2.50/month, billed yearly |
| Every year after | $15 a year | $1.25/month, billed yearly |
| A year with the custom domain add-on | $25 a year ($15 + $10) | $2.08/month, billed yearly |
| A year with the animations add-on | $25 a year ($15 + $10) | $2.08/month, billed yearly |
| A year with both add-ons | $35 a year ($15 + $10 + $10) | $2.92/month, billed yearly |
Add-ons are extras you add from the Add-ons page: a domain like yourname.com (see Use your own domain), and Animations, so visitors see the animations you made in the Designer (see Animate your page). Each add-on is for the site you add it to. Added partway through that site’s year, you pay only for the months left until its renewal, and part of a month counts as a whole one. After that, it renews with that site. No add-ons, nothing extra.

Paid before yearly plans started?#
Your site renews one year after it started. If that date has already passed, or is very close, you get at least 30 days from when yearly plans began. We email you your date.

Common questions#
Will I be charged automatically?
No. We email you before your renewal date, and you pay yourself from the Billing tab.
How much is it per month?
There is no monthly bill. You pay once a year: $30 the first year ($2.50/month, billed yearly), then $15 a year ($1.25/month, billed yearly).
Do I pay for my custom domain every year?
Yes, while you have the custom domain add-on: it renews with your site, so the renewal is $25 a year instead of $15.
Do I pay for animations every year?
Yes, while you have the animations add-on: it renews with your site, so the renewal is $25 a year instead of $15.
I have two sites. Do my add-ons cover both?
No. Each add-on is for one site, and it renews with that site, on that site’s renewal date. Each site is paid for on its own, even when two sites renew on the same day.
What if I forget to renew?
Your site stays live for 14 days after the renewal date, then pauses. Pay any time and it comes back. After 180 days paused, it’s deleted.
Can I use a voucher code to renew?
Yes. Press Renew now and pick Voucher code.
