Website Builder - Managing Plans

Warning:

At this time, the only way to change your Website Builder theme is to cancel the plan and start a new plan for the same domain. We recommend using the free Basic plan until you are satisfied with your theme.

If you have already purchased an upgraded plan and wish to change your theme, please contact us via phone or chat for assistance.

Our new Website Builder has a great deal of flexibility to serve different users' different needs. Whether you need to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel so that you can try a new platform. Please click the links below to guide you step by step:
