Upgrading or Downgrading Your Weebly Plan

Weebly is unavailable on new Shared (SW) accounts; however, WordPress is an excellent alternative to these builders. The instructions on how to install WordPress are discussed in the article: How to Install WordPress With Softaculous.

To confirm if you are on a new Shared (SW) package, please see this article, How to Tell if You Are on a New or Legacy Hosting Package, for more information.

 

You can upgrade or downgrade your Weebly account at any time directly through your Customer Portal. By default, you have Weebly Basic, and you can optionally upgrade to Pro or Business plans.

Note: Weebly is activated for an individual domain or subdomain per installation. You may have multiple instances of Weebly active on different domains and/or subdomains. Installing, upgrading, downgrading, or canceling Weebly on one domain or subdomain in your account does not affect Weebly installations on other domains or subdomains.

How to Add Weebly to a Domain or Subdomain

Before you can upgrade or downgrade, you will need to activate Weebly on your domain or subdomain.
