Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a domain to get started?

No. You can build and publish your website first, then add a domain whenever you're ready. See Domains & DNS for details.

Can I try the builder before subscribing?

You can create an account and explore the dashboard for free. A subscription is required to publish your site and access hosting.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from My Account → Manage Billing. Your site stays live until the end of the current billing period.
